My Mother Poem by Jaishree Nair

You brought me into this world,
To describe you not a word..
A bond so divine and blessed,
A gift from God to mankind.

You made me what I am-
A shadow behind my every step
Intervening when needed;
Detaching when superfluous.

A heaven of solace your arms,
Your soothing words comforted me many a time;
Your patience in bearing with my childhood tantrums...
Retold by my elders in the family

Hats off to you -my mother
Your place in a pedestal in my heart
Your grief in my sorrow;
Your joy in my happiness

My smallest wish -your greatest objective
You led me into the light of knowledge;
You gifted me with a sister as my soulmate
You have never ever let me down.

My gratitude overflowing.....
Proud to have you as my mother
Never would have liked any other...
Most of all Thank You for just being there

Never anything lacking;
So long as you are backing;
You presence itself so gratifying;
Blessed the feeling satisfying.

This day dedicated to all mothers......
My life at your feet! ! ! ! ! ! !
