Your love is so generous

For your love is so generous,

that a simple dish

becomes delicacy in your hands.

And if I try and try,

the same recipe, the same method,

with the same ingredients

over and over again,

that special flavor goes missing.

The dish is complete

and yet so incomplete.

And I do not know

when you add that dollop of

special secret stuff

because I try and watch you all the time

but somehow I miss it every-time.

And it is not just food.

Its everything.

The way you iron my clothes,

the way you braid my hair,

the way you serve me milk,

the way you encourage me

to inch further … rise high and fly …

all things big and small,

you do it with that

“mother’s extra special touch”.

And for that no words of thank you suffice.
