Mother Poem by Bharati Nayak

Mother

Rating: 5.0


Who can judge your
Greatness, Oh Mother!
Who can ever
Count the million moments
You sacrificed for
Who can ever measure
The depth of your love
Who can realize
The pain and agonies
You have gone through
To bear and bring up
The child
Who can ever
count the painful nights
you sat through without batting your eye lids
By the sick child's bedside
Who can ever
Value the nectar you pour
In the mouth of the baby
Who can judge the value of your life
As you give it away
Seconds, minutes and hours
In the prayer
In your toil and labor
For the child's well being?

Oh Mother!
Who can ever
Give back to you
The price of your breath
The value of your kiss
The warmth of your hug
The depth of your prayer
And the unceasing love
That you vow to give
To your last minute?

The role of a mother in present society is most vital and unavoidable. Her love towards her children and people of the nation is immeasurable. No one can count her painful night. We can't pay the value our own mother's kiss and warmth hug. Dear Bharati Madam, you have so movingly inscribed this poem on mother as universal spirit. Most beautiful poem on mother. It is going to my poem list. Visited time and again.
