An Ode to Unmatched Devotion ...12.05.2024

In the vast expanse of unknown shores, I was born,

A childhood entangled, testing your patience worn.

I could never match your expectations, it's true,

O Mother, your grace astounds, unparalleled, astam tavadiyam, I rue.

In positions of significance, I longed for your embrace,

In moments of weakness, I wept for your grace.

Helpless, I stood as you battled through the storm of disease,

Aho jananyai rachatoyam anjalih, your love, a form.

In every trial, your love prevailed,

In every sorrow, your strength unveiled.

Forever indebted, I offer this ode,

To a mother's love, an eternal abode.
