She made me a member
Of the World to encumber
Still with love I remember
Her as she is a wise climber

The smell of feeding-bottle's cap
Gives motherly feelings to this chap
Hygienic milk from her breast-tap
Stopped diseases preventing mishap

No babyhood memories' registration
My presence is her love's demonstration     
I am safe as she only supplied insulation
For my sake she does Godly consultation

We children never at all noticed
That she was by her in-laws teased
Our minds she amicably appeased
From tension we were totally released

Father disliked his banking profession
His expression of his utter confusion
Gave mother a sadly shattered emotion
Still she was sincerely pursuing devotion

A marriage function she attended
Life of bride-groom's father ended
Its treacherous hands depression extended
Upon her mental disorder cruelly landed

She was very strongly drugged
For deep sleep she cried and begged
Her life was torturously dragged
Her in-laws arrogantly still bragged

She suffered mental disintegration
And was given continuous sedation
She still enjoyed all our adulation
Her soft voice had Divinely modulation

By fate she was mercilessly kicked
To ill-treat, she only, all devils picked
She was tricked, but never got pricked
She was bricked, but her God-faith licked

Calm and serene her mood will be
She is ever busy like a honey-bee
She has never had in life any glee
She will always make to God a plea

She will for work give a reward
To me it is a valuable award
Her patience has made my heart broad
She has taught me not to be a fraud

For us she is a pleasant present
She is alive and robust at present
She is innocent, decent and God-sent
My recent visit says she is excellent.
