3rd: Maliha Khalida Malik

A mother’s love is something that cannot be explained

It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain

She filled my days with rainbow lights

Fairy tales and sweet dream nights,

A kiss to wipe away my tears

Gingerbread ease my fears,

It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may

You gave the gift of life to me

And then in love, set me free,

I thank you for the tender care

For deep hugs and being there,

It believes beyond believing

When the world around condemns,

And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems

It is far beyond defining,

It defines all explanations,

And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of a creation,

The many comprises you made for me

No one could see, but I had to see.
