Early morning, you make my bread, <br />The same with love to me you fed, <br />But when I cried to eat you said, <br />When I am with you don't need to be sad. <br /> <br />While walking to school, I was always red, <br />I would nag for you to carry me to the end, <br />But when I cried to walk you said, <br />When I am with you don't need to be sad. <br /> <br />From school when I come back, <br />With home works in my big pack, <br />I cried to do them, but you said, <br />When I am with you don't need to be sad. <br /> <br />At night, you put me in bed <br />My manners with stories you mend <br />But when I cried to sleep, you said <br />I am with you don't need to be sad. <br /> <br />Now all day long in loss I cry <br />Will you come, or at least give it a try? <br />But when I cried myself to sleep, in my dream you said <br />My child, you don't need to be sad.<br /><br />Meenakshi Hariharan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mom-when-i-cried/
