Mother's Love Poem by Vattakkatt Premchand

Mother's love
Purer than pure is your mother's love, unconditional and unlimited
As fresh as a sunny spring morning and as lovely as a thousand rainbows
It is vast as all oceans put together and as luminous as a winter full moon
Its sweet as pure nectar and it fills your heart to soothe your soul in smoldering pain
Just like a cooling summer shower, it douses the flames of wildfire spreading in your heart.
It flows like a smooth, non-rippling stream to stop you from wilting in life's scorching sunshine.
She sings sweet lullabies to help you to sleep and she watches and waits to see you flourish.
She shields you from all hardships and fights off your foes with such a fearless lion heart.
Her heart fills up with joy, seeing you, taking your strides, to grasp your goal,
Mothers are like sweet scented candles; gently they burn themselves out,
Making you feel warm and dispelling, the darkness from your path.
Selfless, truly selfless is your mother's love; nothing else comes close to it like your mother's warm love.
