My Mother

Is Indian,
is Japanese,
with a touch
of British.

My mother is a peacock,
a lioness when I’m bad,
an angel when I’m good,
a famous chef when I’m hungry.

My mother is a teacher,
when it comes to homework,
an astrologer shaping my future,
a doctor when I’m ill.

A friend when I’m in need of help,
an unpaid chauffeur,
that takes me to the movies,
a bank, when I need to waste money.
