Her Love, Our Foundation Poem by Yousif Ibrahim Abubaker Abdalla

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM: This poem was created on Sunday, March 21,2026. It's a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering and selfless dedication of mothers. While many cultures set aside a special day to honor them, the truth is that their influence and care extend far beyond any single date on the calendar. I wanted to capture both the tangible acts of nurturing like carrying, feeding, teaching, and comforting and the deep, lasting impact they have on our lives. In this piece, I've blended the everyday actions of a mother with rich metaphorical imagery, turning her daily sacrifices into a poetic homage to her enduring presence. Each line is designed to celebrate not just what a mother does, but also the invisible, nurturing force of her love that supports us throughout our lives. This serves as a gentle reminder that our gratitude for parents isn't limited to just one day; it's intricately woven into the very fabric of our existence.
