If it is a singular case, we can set up a monument for her! But unfortunately in the present times, when there are many such mothers callously deserted by thankless children, if we go to erect monuments for them, the entire land will be studded with monuments! An eye opener into the deplorable deterioration of of parent- child relationship!

The crazy rat race of greed and pleasure makes us forget the true values of life. Let us get out of the rat race or remain rats forever. The above is what my emotions provoked in my mind as initial reaction to the story. This story, breaking the heart of the reader is wonderfully penned in a poem.

I am always appreciative of true untold tales that hold such a lesson to those willing to listen, poor unappreciated woman, selflessness and sacrifice and in return she is forgotten by all of these children. You did a great justice to her in telling this story in a poem and in such a manner as to be compelling and heart wrenching.....quite an amazing gift you have.
