Thank God that she was a woman
Without her I would not be the man
I am today
Her silence spoke volume of an inner strength
Gentle eyes radiated love
A touch softer than a billowing cloud
Warm enough to melt a hardened heart
Faith and belief in goodness of man
Hearth open at any time of the day
For the needy
Never asked but shared what she had
A voice never raised to keep us straight
Mere thought of hurting her
Enough to show us the light
Who needed medicine
When a hug was enough
To take away all the pain
Thank you God
For making my mother
A woman
Without her
I would not be the man
I am today
A tribute to my mother on International Women’s Day

Thank you Balroop. It’s going to be twenty eight years that she had left us for the heaven but I still miss her every day.

I believe you. I am sure she was a great woman. My dad died almost three years and a half ago and I keep missing him too.
