Hello October

On this month
I made my first cry
From a lowly home
My mother gave birth
Caring me
Making me grow well
Out of poverty
My parents did it
Trying time
Unavoidable
Sickness got me through
Weakling as I am
Only me
That was all I can
For my ignorance
Carried me away
But mother
Assured me so fine
There's a loving God
Who takes care of me
Emptiness
Caught me flatfooted
Of trials I couldn't
Hold on to the end
Rest assured
My prayer of faith
God answered on time
Thankful so I am.

@anil02 That's right. It's a double celebration with my wife. We have a synchronous birthday.

Wonderfully written! There is nobody like mother. I lost my mother in 2008, and I still remember my days spent with her.
