A Mother's Devotion Poem by Stephen Katona
A Mother's Devotion
This is a story of true devotion,
Deep in the Pacific Ocean.
In Monterey Bay,
Far below seals at play,
There waits a true matriarch,
One mile down, where its always dark.
In water only 3 degrees,
Where you or I would freeze,
Olga the octopus cares for her brood,
Without eating any food.
She makes no attempt to grab,
Tasty looking shrimp and crab.
You have to really respect,
How determined she is to protect,
The one hundred and sixty eggs,
Lying under her eight legs.
At last, after four and a half years,
Out hatch her little dears.
Olga gave each beating heart,
The best possible start.
See how large they've managed to grow,
In all those years safe from foe,
Ready to find their own way,
And perhaps come back one day.
Motherhood and devotion both are in separable. A mother can only feel her offspring and also link him with God. She serves as dedication for devotion for her, offspring and also for God. Nice message sent to society. Wonderful poem. Excellent work.
Olga's devotion for her offsprings is so beautifully described! I always enjoy your poems on the animals on land and sea so much! You present them with phenomenal qualities!
A beautiful poem on the motherhood of Olga and her adorable devotion...... Great.
