आई

You have been strong and calm, carrying that lovely smile, 

Until the train started moving and the tears came rolling down

I still remember your hand raised up to say good bye, 

You feared your son was moving out, in this cruel world, to find his own path

But I could also hear "Dont go away my son" your heart's cry, 

You also had confidence on your love and the 'sanskar's' you had passed

I realize now, when I have a small kid, how difficult it is,

parting away from yourself, its the toughest job

Toughness, tenderness, love and affection, its a package in one,

Only YOU mom, can do this, you are the only one.

Love you आई …
