My Dearest Parents Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

My Dearest Parents

Rating: 4.7


I have no idea, where you both are now,
But wherever you are, in Spirit or Body,
I wish to acknowledge, all that you have bestowed,
Beautiful memories for me, with fond remembrance!

Mom, you showered me with so much of love,
Majestic attitude and style,
Myriad stories of joy and laughter,
Melodious music, which I now sing in your memory!

Dad, you blessed me with thousand books,
Dedication to read and educate, more and more,
Devotion through spiritual texts and deeds,
Dance and sing to enjoy the aesthetic bliss!

My wonderful, dearest Parents,
I bow down before you with much gratitude and love,
Today, the 4th of September, when you took the wows of marriage,
To remain together, faithful and steadfast, till the last day of your lives.

Many, many, thanks dearest Parents,
Your loving daughter,
Geeta

Great tribute to beloved parents from a gifted and a grateful daughter. Though, their contribution cannot be fully grasped and quantified, you have tried to put it in a few words with complete humility. Thanks a lot, Geeta ji. We can understand your feelings on this very special day. Following words reflect so much of their persona: so much of love.... Majestic attitude and style, with thousand books.... spiritual texts and deeds, Dance and sing to enjoy the aesthetic bliss!

Rajnish ji, you understand my poems so well, specially the deep sentiment attached to the poems. It is not possible to count the innumerable of things that the parents have done for their children. The least one can do is to fondly remember them with much gratitude. It is a great blessing to have wonderful parents. Thank you so much Rajnish ji.

Wat an eye-wetting tribute to parents. In your poem we read very much more, between lines. It really brought tears to my eyes. Don't have to say more about it. Thanks very much for the sensational poem. X

This is a great affectionate poem very well penned with much care and love as a tribute to your parents. Time has changed but souls have not. Still they shine in another world. Filial love is well expressed. They have blessed you much to become the great in life. This is an outstanding family poem. Thank you for sharing a silver photo of memory of your parents as a cover to this poem...10
