It has happened now,
after facing so many hardships in life,
that my life has attained stability.
Today, I have all worldly pleasures,
that I didn't even think I ever had deserved;
For they could just be a part of my dreams.
Still, after possessing eternal strength, ubiquitous riches,
why do I find myself poorer that the poor,
weaker than the weakest,
and lonely than the loneliest.
And when I hunted for the reason in the past,
it suddenly struck me,
'I don't have you with me'.
You; who was always there,
as a backbone of my dreams,
as the strength of my hand,
and you were there to help me face my fears.
Without you,
there would have had been no me;
you made me what I am.
But see, how have the times played with me.
When you were with me,
I cried for the power and riches;
and now that I have all, I wail for you.
I wish you would have been here, with me today;
to see the one you have given a new life,
to see your seedlings grow
into a mature tree.
Great poem and a beautiful tribute to a mother. A man who had nothing, had his mother beside him. But now when he has everything to make life comfortable, his mother is no more. What a pity? Thanks for sharing this poignant poem.
Mother is a back bone of our life, mother is a strength of our hand, mother made us what we are.It is a great tribute to a mother.
Without you, there would have had been no me; you made me what I am....great
