Ode to a Woman – Amarjit Kaur, my Eternal Mother
How to write for you, is my dilemma,
My friend, care taker, or teacher or just my Mama.
You were born in village of Punjab,
Close by to an area which is called Doab.
In 50s, You cycled your way to an 11 km stretch,
For the school knowledge, you wanted to fetch.
Charming and beautiful, with time you turned,
With your beautiful voice, some nostalgic songs you sang.
Time was not ripe for girls to sing,
For nature to let the wedding bell make its ring.
Soon I was born to you, in an year,
Warmed in the wraps and hugged like bear.
Educated, we three children, were first at home,
Then at school and then bigger knowledge domes.
In the hurry you departed for heavenly abode vector.
Ensuring first that you made us Officers, MDs of various sectors.
In your departure is my hope that I shall be born to you,
Next life I know not, but shall have mother in you.
I know you shall be re-born a lady, to carry out divine’s will of creation,
Confused I am if you are God or his beautiful rendition.
Now some words describe you in my hazy mind,
A Lady or Creator or Caretaker or Nurturer or Educator
Or just a buddy of mine.
Happy Women’s day, my eternal mother.
