HAKUNA KAMA MAMA-SHAIRI

When you were born, your mother
spent hours giving birth to you; you
thanked her by crying every night in
the middle of her sleep

*When you were 4; your mother
bought you ice- cream; you thanked
her by dropping it all over the floor

*When you were 6; your mother used
to drive you to school; you thanked her
by closing the car door and not even
looking back

*When you were 10; your mother paid
for music lessons; you thanked her for
not even bothering to practice

*When you were 12; your mother paid
for summer campt; you thanked her by
not even writing one single letter

*When you were 13; your mother took
you and your freinds to the movies;
you thanked her by asking her to sit on
a different row

*When you were 15; your mother was
waiting for an important phone call;
you thanked her by being on the
phone all day

*When you were 17; your mother cried
on your graduation day; you thanked
her by partying out with your freinds
all night; and not even phoning her to
tell her that your okay

*When you were 18; your mother
carried all your bags and stuff to your
college campus; you thanked her by
telling her to go away as you was
embarrassed in front of your friends

*When you were 20; you got married
and your mother cried of happiness on
your wedding; you thanked her by
moving half way across the country &
not bothering to keep in touch

*When you were 30; your mother was
old and asked you to take care of her
you thanked her by telling her that
shes annoying and old people should
stop being such a pressure on their
children

*Then suddenly one day; your mother
quitely died; and everthing that you
didn't do came rushing back and hit
you like a crash of thunder on your
heart

Cherish and respect your mother while
you have the chance...
You will come to Cry when she is
Gone.
