Actions Speak Louder than Words

To the mother who screams, 
'Why do you always inform me about something important at the eleventh hour?'
But who will go on to complete your project, sitting up with you late in the night.

To the mother who screams,
'Why do you make your uniform so dirty?'
But who will wash it with her own hands and make it spotless.

To the mother who screams,
'Why do you keep losing your things?'
But who will not rest until she finds whatever you have lost.

To the mother who screams,
'Look how messy your room is!'
But who will make it impeccably clean by the time you come home.

To the mother who screams,
'I'm tired of cooking different dishes for everyone.'
But who will never forget to cook your favourite curry whenever she cooks a curry you don't eat.

To the mother who screams,
'When will I get a break?'
But who will think only about you when she does get a break.

This one's for her.
