What is a mother?
Someone whose life
Gave birth
To a new soul
Someone whose heart
Pumped blood to life
Whose eyes opened fresh ideas...
The eyes of opportunity
What is a mother?
Someone whose true love
Breathed passion into
My very being
Someone whose tears of joy
Taught me how to laugh
And whose tears of sorrow
Taught me how to cry
What is a mother?
Sensitivity
Leading to being
With humanity
Thank you Mom
For teaching me
To walk and talk
And negate hate
Thank you Mom for being there
When fear paralysed me
Holding my hand in safety
Everything is...OK
Oh i couldn't rate it less than 5 stars.I liked how you showed what a women do in her life is wonderful job.
As mothers, women play such a very crucial role in their children's upbringing. They can make or break them! Sincerest thanks, Mamata for your positive response. And for the 5 stars.
Excellent lines on mother, dear Richard.If you so like, you can read my poem visible God.
Your mother was your teacher, your caretaker/nurse, counselor, best friend and your guide to all of your sources of true wisdom! Tell you mother you love her and happy mother's day!
An excellent assessment of mothers, Roxanne. I send the message of love to her in Heaven. Thank you for the gesture.
I esp. enjoyed the 'tears' stanza and 'negate hate'. ;) bri p.s. Of course 'mother' takes on a whole new meaning when one is off and says 'you Mother' (or.... a longer version) to an adversary. I use it when speaking to inanimate objects...primarily. ;) bri
Thank you so much, Bri for your positive response. And, of course, for your sense of humour.
