A Blessing Poem by Swami Vivekananda

A Blessing

Rating: 4.7


The Mother's heart, the hero's will,
The softest flowers' sweetest feel;

The charm and force that ever sway
The altar-fire's flaming play;

The strength that leads, in love obeys;
Far-reaching dreams, and patient ways,

Eternal faith in Self, in all,
The light Divine in great, in small;

All these and more than I could see,
Today may 'Mother' grant to thee!

It'd be pretty good to have all those and more.

Mothers are the life blood of our existence, they provide us the blanket of compassion that nurtures our humanity. This is a stellar poem for motherhood and a great tribute your own.
