To the Calf's call in a herd, <br />How its mother rushes to feed? <br />To the chicks' mouth wide open <br />How its mother feeds one by one? <br /> <br />To the hungry cubs in a den <br />How with food rushes the lion? <br />To the kittens newly born <br />How a cat feeds them on? <br /> <br />Under their mothers' wings <br />These new born younger beings <br />How the nature allows them to stay <br />Until they can run or fly away? <br /> <br />A bird or an animal cares not, <br />Once its kid stands on its feet <br />And it forgets next minute <br />Its own kid where to meet? <br /> <br />Not so in the human kingdom <br />'Cause there's more wisdom <br />That allows its bondage seldom <br />Broken into a blood of freedom. <br /> <br />To them the mother's wing, <br />A shield, a boon, life long, <br />As she cares, old or young, <br />Even if her kids go wrong. <br /> <br />Is there any known creature <br />More than a divine mother <br />An embodiment of love ever <br />What a God-given human nature!<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mother-s-wings/
