My mom's hands had become wrinkled and old
But to me, they were still, precious as gold
They still could soothe us with a touch
I valued their ability, so very much

Never shall I commit an act that is rash
Never shall I sell my soul for cash
The path to hell is rosy
I very well know it's true
...

When nature calls
How do you feel
Do you, your city layers, peel
And throw them on the grass so green
...

Nothing hurts more than a harsh, unkind word
From the mouths of people unnecessarily frank and pert
Insulting others is to be avoided at any cost
Speak one sentence, and then you're as good as lost.
...

Darling, if you would just say that you love me
Then I would no longer have to ask on a bended knee
For your fair hand, which is fairer than the swan
No longer would I sigh, right from night to dawn.
...

Snow-white clouds decorate the sky
They are fluffy and fleecy, and pleasant to the eye
They are the silver linings on many a gray morn
When you lazily wake up, stifling a yawn.
...

There will always be someone around you
Who will resent your claim to fame
Do not stress about them
They will soon be caught at their game
...

If a storm comes in your life, ride it
If a problem occurs in your life, solve it
If you feel intense misery- hide it
But if you feel immense joy - share it
...

Life, like a river
Moves slowly forward
Some days it brings smiles
Some days will evoke sighs
...

Rejoice one and all
For today is Christmas
Decorate the hall
For today is Christmas
...

The harrying days are gone
We welcome a new dawn
Nothing has changed, but the date
So change your attitude, to change your Fate
...

Its farewell to the old year
And welcome to the new one
Its ‘thank God' for the old year
And best wishes for the new one.
...

The sunlight speeding through the sky
Touching everything - low and high
Touched, in its, travels, a sleepy little town
And helped it discard its old night-gown.
...

In the lush green landscape
Rose a tiny blob of yellow
So bright and so beautiful
So soft and so mellow
...

The rustle of the leaves
The gently swaying palm
The slow refreshing breeze
That acts like a balm
...

16.

Bright came the dawn
Tripping across the lawn
Over the lake and hill
And over the window sill
...

Heavenly bells ring
Birds of paradise sing
Flowers bloom in the spring -
Light breezes which also bring
...

If the world does not seem bright to you
If instead of being an optimist you being one of the pessimists few
If you feel you have struggled in vain
And have not achieved any suitable gain
...

I will first put flowers on the grave of my mother
Who has influenced me, as has no other
Though she is now no more her aura is there
Which keeps sprinkling seeds of her love and care;
...

Use brains to know right from wrong
Use lips to sing a joyous song
Use ears to listen to someone's woes
Use nose to sniff the fragrance of a rose
...

The Best Poem Of Nafisa SB

Mom's Hands

My mom's hands had become wrinkled and old
But to me, they were still, precious as gold
They still could soothe us with a touch
I valued their ability, so very much

These hands had cooked many a dish
They had helped fulfil many a wish
They had laboured so hard, day after day
They taught us to work, they taught us to play

They were, in our youth, so capable and strong
They warned with anger, when we did something wrong
They also clapped for us, whenever we won
They helped us play games, and also have fun

They would remain folded, to pray for us, all
We saw them raised to bless us, so we didn't fall
A tazbee* in her hands, was always there,
To remind us of her constant, tender loving care

My mom, alas, is now no more
She has travelled peacefully to the distant shore
But the lessons she taught about right and wrong
Keep inspiring us, and make us strong

[note: Tazbee-prayer beads]
