MasticadoresUSA is celebrating young writers today. We encourage all the blossoming authors and hope we attract submissions from many more. We happily present Nandika’s poem dedicated to her mother, Shalini Narang.
Mom’s Birthday
Your strength shines inside and out,
When giving us wisdom or running about-
The house to make it the best.
You deserve more rest.
Your love shines inside and out
When hugging and talking with us.
You would do anything for us.
You always help us on bad days,
You love us on all days.
You inspire us as people,
By making us kinder, wiser,
Stronger, loving and hardworking.
We have a companion to confide in
You show us
That we can be anything.
Have an amazing birthday!!
