~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A love like no other, the love of a mother, In her eyes, a universe of care and grace, Her heart, a sanctuary unlike any other. With her gentle touch, she can soothe any bother, Her comforting words, like a warm embrace, A love like no other, the love of a mother. She’s the wind beneath wings, a heavenly feather, In life’s stormy sea, she is our saving grace, Her heart, a sanctuary unlike any other. Her patience and kindness, they never smother, In her presence, we find our truest space, A love like no other, the love of a mother. Through trials and triumphs, she is our tether, Her strength and courage, they set the pace, Her heart, a sanctuary unlike any other. To describe her love, there are no words rather, She’s a blessing, a gift, a timeless embrace. A love like no other, the love of a mother, Her heart, a sanctuary unlike any other.

What a wonderful tribute to your mother. Alas mine died more than twenty years ago, though still remembered. Your poem is a delight to read. Glad I chose it. My God bless your loving heart.

thank you, Victor, for your touching remarks. I, too, lost my mom over 20 years ago...gone too soon but, like you, I remember her and her spirit every day. Glad you chose my poem to read. Have a blessed day, Sara

This Villanelle beautifully captures the profound and incomparable love of a mother. The repetition of the phrase "a love like no other" emphasizes the unique and unmatched nature of a mother's love, highlighting its depth and universality. The imagery used throughout the poem, such as "her eyes, a universe of care and grace" and "her heart, a sanctuary unlike any other," evokes a sense of warmth, comfort, and security, portraying the mother as a source of unwavering support and love.
