Irreplaceable

This is my humble dedication to our fellow poet Krish Radhakrishna, who recently mourns the loss of his dear mother. I came to know about this after reading his blog. My sincere prayers for his mother's soul to rest in peace and my heartfelt condolences to the whole family.




She yearns to catch the first glimpse of you, 
The day you are out from her tender womb, 
Her priceless pearl that gleams with hopes new, 
As she holds you close, tears of joy overflows.

Her heart skips a beat everytime you stumble, 
As you take your first toddling steps to walk;
She forgets her hunger without a grumble, 
As she patiently feeds you for hours.

She has been your eyes until you had
Your own perspective;
She has been your wings until you gave
The first flutter to reach new destinations, 
To give wings to your cherished dreams.

Nothing in this world can replace a mother's love, 
Her pure soul now safe in Heavenly abode. 
With her sincere devout prayers from above, 
She will guide you forever like a beacon from sky.

This is a tribute to all mothers. I am sure Krish will love it for the sentiments you express. Loss of mother is a permanent void in life.
