My mother had great expectations before I was

born, but, I shattered her hopes -

because I was not like you

She was much stronger - she taught me to crawl,

taught me to walk and taught me to talk

because, I had to be part of you

You learnt it in a day while, I took long years - still,

she continued the struggle -

because I had to be part of you.

She taught me with love, taught me with

patience, taught me during the day and taught

me as I lay,

because, I had to be part of you

I do many things, I don't know the ways - but

Teach me again and tolerate my ways,

because I've to be part of you

I am special, my mother is special, my ways are

Special -

Because, I had to be part of you

My mother has laboured for years,

I've made endless efforts but -

I've not learnt your ways

Can I still be part of you?
