The sound of wedding bells, I hear
My daughter’s maiden flight, so near
Festive celebrations, in full gear
And nuptial gaiety, so much in the air
Oh, Love! Under our sheltering wings
Guarded you were, from tumultuous swings
Now that you are going away
To live under another’s sway,
Bear in mind this counsel given
By a mother who through age has wiser grown
That’ll make your life blissful as you wish
And keep it aglow without blemish
Make a home of the house you go
Give love to all in weal and woe
On your face, a pleasing smile you wear
Cover in cheer, your furrowed brow of care
Adore the man with all your ardour
And show him that you really care
Condone him, though frailties abound
And correct him in private, not raising sound
As years glide and glamour fades
As grimy truths emerge from hides
Life may not appear all that fair
As once it seemed to the soulful pair
Yet, believe, your life is clad in glory
Dispel all nagging thoughts that leave you sorry
Know, the stumbling blocks that seem so gory
Will finally lead to brighter paths of glory
Conquer the hearts through your innate charisma
Never surrender to anyone but to your anima
Hold your head up and never look timid
And venture into a life with dreams vivid!
Only a dear mother could give her daughter advice such as this. lovely enjoyed
I really adore this write Valsa. A mothers advice is always good even when it comes to marrying and leaving the home. She will never steer her children wrong. A wise daughter will take heed to this wonderful show of love. I have two poems titled My mother, My friend and Number One Mother please take a look when you get time. I will post this as one of my favorite poems. A truly enjoyed write Madam Valsa.
this is a beautifully crafted poem.....great words and sentiments to pass on with love.
Dear Valsa, A wonderful poem that every mother and every daughter should read. Mother's golden words will always be a soothing balm that shall echo into a loving daughter's ears throughout her life.
A great advice in a lovely poem. Conquer the hearts through your innate charisma Never surrender to anyone but to your anima Hold your head up and never look timid And venture into a life with dreams vivid!
Beautiful message to pass on to a daughter. Culturally rooted. A good sign-post for all daughters!
... i am glad you have took seriously... whatever your mother said.. listning is easy and to do what you are told to is different.. you have absorbed everything that you mother said... Nice write.
Such a wonderful message has to be really passed on to the younger generation without fail! It would surely pilot towards healthy and lovely establishment of family life. It's my pleasure to read such notable words from a caring mother dear Valsa George mam!

I would like to translate this poem
A mother is a heavenly being, the blessed one, who is respected universally irrespective of any caste, creed or color, the first training institute for kids, esp.daughters...this poem is a message of virtue, a reminder, not only for the daughters, but also for those mothers who teach their daughters the bad lessons of separation and domestic segregation among the relations. Ms. Valsa George, you are an example of a dutiful daughter who kept the mother's lesson with you, and now handed over as a dowry to many daughters. great! ! !
