The tears trickling down from her glistening watery eyes
are trying to wash away the long deep wrinkles on her face

She can just recollect her sweet old memories
when she gave birth to her kids

Her tears show her the days when
she wiped the sadness of her children

Her bruised body reminds her of
her pain for the little injuries of her kids

Her shivering takes her back to the times when
she gave herself to save her children from the cold air

The sweat on her feeble body brings her the sweet reminisces when
she worked hard and kept her stomach empty to feed her kids

Her loneliness has no memories
She might have never dreamt that one day her kids would leave her

Lack of love and care
Is it the punishment given by god for her sacrifice?

She is still living
just to see her children once, before her death

One day their kids will answer them.
