A Tribute To Motherhood Poem by Mamta Agarwal

A Tribute To Motherhood

Rating: 5.0


I was going on a journey by train,
Outside it had started to rain.
My eyes rested on a mother and a child.
It is only possible to find
Such a look of tenderness on a mother’s face.
It was a moment filled with grace.


As the child looked up at her,
It instinctively knew it was her mother
And he can have complete trust
In her, that she will always put him first.
Compassionate, forgiving, tender and loving
At times firm, but forever giving.



God created mothers as he couldn’t be everywhere,
So each child could get his fair share
Of protection and love, when in need.
She not only feeds and reads
To him but by example leads.
And tries her best to sow the right seeds.



My mother is no more
She will never walk in through that door.
But where ever she is, she is blessing me
I know in my heart, she taught me how to be.

Dear Mamta, I may not be doing justice to your poem today as I am emotionally moved. You have opened the pandora's box for me. I lost my father in 1986 and mother in 1996. So according to your poem she should be having all these qualities tenderness, trust, grace, compassionate, forgiving, firm, loving, protective, always blessing to be a friend philosopher and guide.In your concluding paragraph you have amply clarified that in such a fashion that tears will will travel to a compassionate man. 'my mother is no more she will never walk through that door but whereever she is, she is blessing me I know in my heart she taught me how to be.' Iam sure this is a unique poem, reminds of my mother. sorry for delayed A-10- Rajkumar
