Do you see it?

You would never hear... you would never know
A million tears are spent wishing you were near

You would never hear... you would never know
Caught up in the web of life, pushing to achieve your goals

You never had the time to be by her side
Nor the heart to listen to her, at the end of a tiring day

She has no reproach, she lives just day by day
Hoping somewhere deep within, that someday you would care

Just the way she did for you, from the time you were conceived
But what have you given, for all her trouble & pain?

For every wish of yours she fulfilled, what did you give in return?
Did you hide behind the words that 'not everything can be repaid'

I see a drop of tear, slide down her face
Even though she proudly declares, how well you fare at work

She tries to convince you its a tear of joy
But the window to her soul tells you more...

Just pause for a while & think...
For all her love & care, what have you given in return?

Are you filled with shame? or is your heart hardened today?

Pause for a moment, I beg of you...
Think about your childhood days...

Was she not there by your bed side?
Reading you stories night after night

Was she not there for every game you played?
And proudly declared you are the best?

Was she not there to nurse your broken heart?
To take you in her arms & let the wounds heal

You would never hear... you would never know
A million tears are spent wishing you were near

She needs you now, more than ever...
Your dear lovely Mother is waiting for you.
