She is a Mother
A Tribute
She comes with the flavor of darjeeling tea
I grasp her tight, I am still in dreams
She pats me gently on my back, I know she is curious.
I haste through my shower, it's terribly cold, the water is colder
I get a shiver on my spine, the water is frosty and cutting
She tinkles to make sure the hot water flowing all right
I sneak out half done with my job, as always.
She forces my savory lunch into my carrier unstruggling
I rush out to the traffic outside, devalued, delayed by minutes
Her face grilled, curious and concerned
Yet wearing the most adorable smile.
It stays with me all through the day
Through the bleakness, through the sun
Through the falsities of the big bad world
The smile is but a magic wand, troubleshooting the unpleasantness.
I come back to the tranquil lap, she soothes me of all that do not matter.
She never retires, she is there always, no time out for her
She is my mom, she is our mother
She is a mother.

Post a CommentVery sweet words and a wonderful tribute to your mother!
Could not help but emotionally remember and cherish he special moments that i spent with my mother. That is how deep these thoughts and words have touched me Mimpi. Thanks
hi and i understood feelings and i can guess each word came from your heart and i can't more words for that one and add me in yahoo messenger rajesh_dasari100@yahoo.co.in.
Your poem is so beautiful, yet it fills my heart with grief ...... How many people abandon or ill-treat their mothers when the swing of "need' tilts the other way, i.e., when the ageing mother is in need of care from the offspring. Great poem Mimpi ! Keep it up !
Yup, I agree. This is so sweet! A very lovely tribute to your mom and motherhood. :-)
What beautiful thoughts! Very nicely done.
This is so sweet :)
Kareyth, thanks a lot for your inspiring words. Your presence on my page matters a lot.
