Mother - Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Autoplay next video

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

Very nice tribute to mothers. I couldn't help thinking about my own mother as I read this, and I'm sure all other readers did the same. (Report)Reply

Dillip, it makes me very happy that you like this poem so much. It was my small way of honouring her. With all due respect, I feel that some of my other poems are much better. For instance, the Kerouac and Thomas Merton series were much more difficult to write. And resulted in a superior product.

As I read this, I'm flooded with memories and lessons of my own mother taught me, and how her compassion, grace, and humor helped me on so many of my good and bad days. I think you have written one of the definitive poems on mothers, its not mothers day, but then everyday is mothers day. Thank you Richard! (Report)Reply

Wow! What a response! This kind of response makes my writing so much more meaningful. Kevin, this poem was read by a female DJ on Boom Radio on Mother's Day. It almost brought her to tears. And her rendition was so emotional that it made me cry.

Typos: the word 'your' has been used two times inadvertently! Please ignore! Once again I congratulate you for a worthy tribute that you have offered to each mother on this earth! (Report)Reply

I just came back to read this lovely poem after your reading your precise comment on my Haiku on the theme! Really a mother is great, the greatest source of love and affection...nowhere can we find such distilled love! A great poem! You have created a masterpiece that would be read by many for number of times! (Report)Reply
