Slow down, Amma...

I know Amma, I know that you are stressed

give me sometime to clear all the mess

I know Amma, you've toiled a long while now

leave it to me, to now pull the plow!

Slow down, Amma, you need to rest

Do you even remember when last you lived in zest?

Slow down, Amma, life has been a bitch

we can't help for that's what the premise of life is!

Hear me, Amma, you need sometime for yourself

enough of all the sacrifices, strain n' duress

Hear me, Amma, I want you to live your life

live every moment by your code and enjoy the ride!

In the quest of surviving in the realm, we are in

I focussed on the outset to bring the monies in

little did I realize that time would not wait, and

I've lost most of them now, it's a little too late!

Off whatever is left, I want to give them all to you

let's let our hair loose and get into the groove!

Spend some time with me, Amma

we have so much to talk 

everything else can wait
but this cannot

let's banter, let's chat, or,

in your garden, let's just squat

sing, dance, walk, shop n' hop

let the merriment go on non-stop

the memories that we create, today,

we will cherish forever

along with the umbilical love

that has connected us together!
