Like a Mother : Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer

The earth does not give 
birth to us 
from her womb-
yet like a mother,
she gives affection
takes care
and nurtures 
forever!

The earth does not give 
birth to us 
from her womb-
yet like a mother,
meets every need
reads each of our sorrows
gives the courage to live
forever!

The earth does not give 
birth to us 
from her womb-
yet like a mother,
gives happiness despite suffering
stands as a shield over obstacles
wants to see us on top
forever!
