As an infant in my arms, <br />As a baby on my shoulder, <br />As a child on my laps, <br />As a kid held by my hand, <br />As a girl kept in my care, <br />As a spinster in my guard, <br />As a bride with my concern, <br />As a mother kept in focus, <br />You have drifted away from me. <br />Distance extends. <br />Relation fades. <br />Umbilical cord reminds <br />You are a part of me. <br />My concern for you remains. <br />02.01.2003<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-to-daughter/
