Mother
“I still remember the day when I was ten,
It was full moon night, my world only you knew Mother!, My Mother!
When at midnight, I woke with tears falling on my knee
You knew the pain of your child, My Mother.
Your caring hands, tenderly removing the pain
Your love, your care, your faith gave me strength,
To face the world without fear and with His strength.
We will meet again on the great Judgment Day. My Mother!"
This great poem is an excerpt from the book 'Wings of Fire' of the former 'People's' President of India, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.
