AMMA



                                                                        AMMA


In the beginning,
It was just a cry.
Later a syllable.
Soon it was clear,
A  funny evolution,
Of two syllables.
Thus birthed my name,
Which soon began the game.

It was Strange,
But Life has been Blissful.
All through my years,
This name  has been crucial.
I have been called
lovingly.
I have been begged,
distress fully.
I have been screamed at,
mercilessly.
And for many other,
Reason and Rhyme.
This name was tagged
Every other time.


Whenever I heard,
this name called.
It wouldn't matter,
Where ever I was.
Sometimes in my sleep,
Sometimes in the Washroom.
Sometimes at work,
Sometimes in a distant place.
It couldn't be ignored,
It couldn't be forgotten.
I needed to be alert,
I needed to run,
I needed to rescue.
My mind wouldn't rest.
Till everything was sorted.


This name is special
It has Magical Powers.
It transforms me,
Into a Magician ,
A Genie,
A Superwoman,
A Multi-purpose tool,
A Problem Solver.
Sometimes,
It annoys
For the weirdest of reasons
But I hang in there.
Because I am the only One,
Available every season.


This game is eternal,
Based on a Mother Child Bond.
My name is AMMA,
The Eternal James Bond
Many years have passed by,
Yet my heart melts
Every time I hear my
kids call me
'AMMA'
