Comprehension
My Mother ------
Just once a year

My mother demands respect at each sunrise.

The idea is that celebrating Mother’s Day once a year is like showing disregard
to our mothers.
Mother’s
Day
‘Mother’s Day’ is
written by Shiv K. Kumar. The poem contrasts Indian and western way of giving
respect to mother. The mothers in India do not deserve only one day of the year
to be dedicated to them. It will be disrespect to our mothers. Our value system
demands that we should pay our respect to mother every day. This is the only
way to respond to a mother’s blessings.
