A Mother's Wings

To the Calf's call in a herd, How its mother rushes to feed? To the chicks' mouth wide open How its mother feeds one by one? To the hungry cubs in a den How with food rushes the lion? To the kittens newly born How a cat feeds them on? Under their mothers' wings These new born younger beings How the nature allows them to stay Until they can run or fly away? A bird or an animal cares not, Once its kid stands on its feet And it forgets next minute Its own kid where to meet? Not so in the human kingdom 'Cause there's more wisdom That allows its bondage seldom Broken into a blood of freedom. To them the mother's wing, A shield, a boon, life long, As she cares, old or young, Even if her kids go wrong. Is there any known creature More than a divine mother An embodiment of love ever What a God-given human nature!
