Sea waves, golden sand, pilgrims' faith.
Rameswaram Mosque Street, all merge into one,
My Mother
You come to me like heaven's caring arms.
I remember the war days when life was challenge and toil
Miles to walk, hours before sunrise
Walking to take lessons from the saintly teacher near the temple.
Again miles to the Arab teaching school,
Climb sandy hills to Railway Station Road.
Collect. distribute newspapers to temple city citizens,
Few hours after sunrise, going to school
Evening, business times before study at night.
All this pain of a young boy,
My Mother you transformed into pious strength
With kneeling and bowing five times
For the Grace of the Almighty only. My Mother.
Your strong piety is your children's strength
You always shared your best with whoever needed the most
You always gave, and gave with faith in Him.
I still remember the day when I was ten
Sleeping on your lap to the envy of my elder brothers and sisters
It was full moon night, my world only you knew
Mother! My Mother!
When at midnight I woke with tears falling on my knee
You knew the pain of your child, My Mother
Your caring hands, tenderly removing the pain
Your love your care, your faith gave me strength
To face the world without fear and with His strength
We will meet again on the great Judgement Day. My Mother
