A friend of mine rightly put, that a mother is the spine of the family. While we discuss women this month, it would be incomplete without mentioning the powers of a mother. Because I have written poems before on that this is something that I couldn’t stop myself from writing given the situation. And I am really hoping my lady gets well soon. 🙂
When she fell ill,
our life came to a standstill.
Our house was in a frenzy,
Every mundane task was testing me.
She wasn’t there to wake me up,
with the freshly brewed tea cup.
To prepare the breakfast or pack lunch,
with dad in the kitchen, it was like a punch.
Everyone have their limitations.
no matter what the situation.
He tried his best,
so that she could get all the rest.
The kitchen haywire,
and the daily routine on fire.
Mom oh mom,
with you, fit and fine things are so calm.
I realize we took you for granted,
complaining about the world that was actually enchanted.
Just get well and I promise not be a bad child,
I will be as wild and trouble you mild.
Just get better because I love you and can’t see you in pain.
And I promise I will never complain.

In 2014 when my mom was hospitalized due to a freak accident and knee surgery, it was horrible. We were all depressed and felt shaken. She does so much, makes our lives so beautiful and when she falls sick, it’s like we are lost. Mothers, oh how can we ever repay them
Hope she gets well soon too!
It has been often said that Man is the head of the house, and I always add that the woman is the neck. If the neck stops functioning. the head can’t do a thing:-D
You’ve captured the helplessness of the entire household so well. Loved reading this.
Wishing your Mom a speedy recovery.
I remember when my mom used to get ill, it was like our home got crashed. Only then you realise everything that she does or you! May your mom get well soon. 🙂
No one does things better than a Mom, she is a wonder Mom. Salute to all mothers
Oh Ramya! Firstly Ramya’s mom pl get well soon, your baby is so lost without you! I can imagine how tough it must be for you dear. Moms are indeed angels on earth sent to take of us.

So poignant and true! I remember feeling that way a couple of times when my mom had surgery! Was so relieved when she was back at the helm!
Wishing your Mama healing!
