Amma, who has lived twice

A woman whose strength and dignity,
In the face of adversity,
Are both tremendous and inspiring.
A woman whose legacy is that,
She achieved,
The impossible for her children.
A woman who gave up,
All comfort and luxury,
To be with her children at every moment.
A woman whose embrace,
Is warmer than the warmest fire,
And balmier then half-opened buds.
A woman who has accomplished the impossible
and the possible,
Overcome every hinderance and hurdle,
Endured pain and agony,
Just to see her children smile.
A woman who has lived twice.
