Once There was a Mother

Once there was a mother,

Who misses the son 

She has left behind.

She shed tears every night,

Hoping for him to be alright.

Once there was a mother,

She cared so much for a daughter

Who never came from her.

Blood is thicker than water,

But the heart knows so much better.

Once there was a mother,

She had the best daughter ever.

She gave her protection and all her affection.

To her feet,

She'll give her the nation.

Once there was a mother,

Jealous of her own daughter.

She would find her faults,

and fire her with insults.

She couldn't care less, if she was ruthless.

Once there was a mother,

Afraid to be a blunder.

She painted memories

Of fake but happy yester-years

To keep her going in this world she is having.

Once there was a mother,

Engulfed with pain , there's no room for laughter.

She lived in a world

Where she thrived in her fears

Of jealousy, insecurity and so much tears.

Once there was a mother,

Who thought if there was any answer

To all the queries

Whispered by the fairies.

Is there any hope

"Will I be able to cope?"

With the trials ahead

It seems hard to succeed.

This is one journey

I'm afraid to carry.
