That Woman

"You can be mad but you cannot be disrespectful".

That's my Mom talking.

She's a gem in its truest essence.
Makes sure I always made sense.
Or even if I am not,
She never thinks I'll rot.

Greatness is what she requires;
But she said its okay to inquire.
Failure is part of life;
That I shouldn't be afraid of strife.

Her wisdom is unalloyed.
Such values - one cannot be destroyed.
I bathe in her words;
In such battle when I have lost my sword.

Her love cradles;
Even if she carry some bundles.
I am not my own woman;
If not for her; she molded me to be one.
