Only And Only Because


i love u
not only because
u have introduced me to this WORLD
i respect u
not only because
u have taught me to say
'excuse me’
before interrupting people
i honor u
not only because
u r my first educator
i believe u
not only because
u showed the difference between
right and wrong
i care for u
not only because
u do care for me
i m grateful to u
not only because
everyone deserves this
i owe u
not only because
a very loving call 'maa’
comes from my tender daughter's heart
and
changes my entire being
i obey u
not only because
with your profound
knowledge and beauty
u composed a
tough song
and
ensured my sound life
whatever i do for u
i do only & only because
u r my 'MAA'.
