Mother at work
It is selfless love
For us to believe
Without any expectation
Still best and sacred relation
Have you seen the eyes of mother?
Full of love for kids and others
Sometimes hostile to strangers
Yet full of love for passers
I could hardly take off my sight
When witnessed female dog to my right
She was feeding with full happiness
I saw it right before me with curiosity on face
No discrimination
No alienation
Simple affection
And real meaning for relation
First few days are devoted to care
Full feeding with good food from everywhere
People are considerate to offer rich food
Children too bring from neighborhood
Healthy kids to be looked at from the start
A place for attraction to pick them up under the cart
They hide in mother's safe belly
Nice scene altogether to feel really
God has provided equal opportunity
For mothers to express their true quality
Whether human or animal, the love is same
No one may know where from it came!
Those kind eyes sometimes baffle
Look at human beings and fear trouble
As if someone may try to steal her babies
A real kind of danger and sense of worry
