Aama



My mom retired from her job as a school psychologist and traveled with me to Nepal. She left after a month to take care of my siblings. Last night I received this poem that she wrote for me. It came unexpected and means the world to me. Thank you mom. I couldn't have done it without you.


Aama
(You Can Call Her Mother)

She searched the world for you
And climbed mountains

She took the rough road
And carried you all the way

She fought battles for you
And talked to kings and princes

She prayed and made offerings for you
And learned your ways

She held your hand for your first steps
And taught you your first words

She made loving friends for you
And they will stay by your side forever

She is Aama
And you can call her mother



Love Mom
