Maa to bas Maa hai...

Maa woh hai jo
9 mahine hume itne karib rakhti hai
ki hum zindagi bhar dur nahi ho pate hain

maa woh hai jo
bachpan se le kar ab tak ki har
gadi ko kal ki baat saman yaad rakti hai

maa wo hai jo
apne khane me se ek bada tukra
hume de de

maa wo hai jo
raat me darr agne par apne karib sulaye

maa wo hai jo
subah na jane kab uth kar humara
breakfast bana deti hai

maa wo hai jo
gussa hone par belan ya karchi se pitai karti hai
aur pir sehlati hai

maa wo hai jo
humare sath raat bhar jag kar exam ki tayari me
sath deti hai

maa wo hai jo
alarm bajne se pehle utti hai

maa wo hai jo
sabke pasand napasand yaad rakti hai

maa wo hai jo

ghar ke har saman ke kis jagah hone ka

pura detail janti hai

maa wo hai jo
auron ko bin bole pasandida chiz
chupke se de jati hai

maa wo hai jo
har galti hans kar maaf kar deti hai

maa wo hai jo
papa se humare liye farmaish karti hai

maa wo hai jo
apni khushi ko undkeha kar
hamari muskurahart me apni hansi khojti hai

maa wo hai jo
ab bhi apne hathon se khana khilane ko
aathur rehti hai

maa wo hai jo
humari pasand ki sari pehna pasand karti hai

maa wo hai jo
aisa pyaar karti hai ki har kisiko
lagta hai "meri maa" mujhse hi sabse jada pyaar karti hai

maa wo hai jo
humara birthday kabhi nahi bhulti

maa wo hai jo
din raat hume dua deti hai

maa wo hai jo
nischal pyaar karti hai

maa wo hai jo
shabdon ke pare hai

Maa to bas Maa hai...

I love you Maa

When you thought....

by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan

When you thought I wasn’t looking
You hung my first painting on the refrigerator
And I wanted to paint another.

When you thought I wasn’t looking
You fed a stray cat
And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn’t looking
You baked a birthday cake just for me
And I knew that little things were special things.

When you thought I wasn’t looking
You said a prayer
And I believed there was a God that I could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn’t looking
You kissed me good-night
And I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn’t looking
I saw tears come from your eyes
And I learned that sometimes things hurt—
But that it’s alright to cry.

When you thought I wasn’t looking
You smiled
And it made me want to look that pretty too.

When you thought I wasn’t looking
You cared
And I wanted to be everything I could be.

When you thought I wasn’t looking—
I looked . . .
And wanted to say thanks
For all those things you did
When you thought I wasn’t looking.
