Mum, You Make Me Smile. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Mum, You Make Me Smile.

Rating: 5.0


Mum, you make me smile.
When you kiss the sole of my foot
You make me smile.
When you kiss my little stomach
and look deep into my eyes
with such a great love
you make me smile.

When you tickle me always
and love to see me laughing
lost in your loving hands
you make me smile.

When I bite on your nipples
you are angry with me.
But even in that anger
there is tender love.
You make me smile Mummy.

You are my God
I shall know God
only through this love
that you give me day and night.

Your smile and playfulness,
your tender care,
gladness pure
will always remain in me
as the character of God.

You are a great Theologian
and a wise philosopher.
With your smiling ‘hi, hu, hum’,
humming and giggling with me
You teach me the Philosophy of Love.
- -

Mummy my dearest
how can I see you again?

In the depths of the night
I open my window
and pray to the stars
“Please send me my mother
Only once if possible
Only once...., I pray to you

Heavenly stars ask God to send me
my mother dearest.

I want to smile with her again
I want to smile with her again”.
(My dearest Mummy died of cancer at the age of 38. Her name is Genova and i call her Maaaaaaa)

Mum, You Make Me Smile.

It is a great tribute to a lovely dedicated mother of poet of this poem who was a theologian and a wise philosopher where smile plays a vital role. It has been so nicely speculated and beautifully depicted with best phraseology. A best poem of eternal love I like most. Many thanks dear Dr. Tony sir, may God increase your poetic thoughts......10

Truely a beautiful poem. The belief that God is love and in his mother he sees so much love he knows God through her is so beautifully portrayed. There is no angry ast her loss just the love she taught him. Thank you.
