Notes About The Poem

March 2, 2024
Placed 1st: Mamma Poetry Contest by Silent One


 

Mothers Love, Inimitable and True

In refulgence of the heavens above, where you are,
Amidst blissful angels, O, you are my northern star,
As I ruminate of selfless love, fond memories impart,
Emanating from treasured affections in my heart.

You are my hero, my holy guide, on this journey of life,
My endearing smile, soothing sufferings of strife,
Blossoming my dreams in your embrace sublime
With grace enamored, through tribulations of time.

Your teachings of morality, as earnestly I revere,
In your righteous footsteps, I endeavor to steer,
Feeling your presence, when every win, you still cheer,
Seeing me rejoice, O, you too shed a happy tear!

When I am gripped in grief, my mother, I hear you cry,
With every breath of my anguish, how you too sigh;
And when I am feeling lost, you are the guiding light,
Guarding me from harm, you are my gallant knight.
.
Pages of albums now bequeath, the venerable you,
Honoring gift of your love quite inimitable and true,
Reminiscing in elation, keepsake memoirs renew,
As embers of your benevolence reignite spirits anew.

What a wonderful tribute to your mother dear Vijay, mothers are ever present, ever guiding, ever loving, ever tearful for any of our mishaps, ever supportive and we took it for granted when young, ever there. But the cycle of life continues, and one day not too too far away, it will be our number called up and our children and grandchildren will think of us. Awesome, brilliant, loving poem to you Mother Vijay, hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

"Feeling your presence, when every win, you still cheer, Seeing me rejoice, O, you too shed a happy tear!" If only more parents understood what influence their own behavior -- or lack of -- has on the psyche of a child. "When I am gripped in grief, my mother, I hear you cry, With every breath of my anguish, how you too sigh;" Mothers' love nearest to God's Love, how He must feel, thus gives grace. Wonderful poem!

Such a beautiful dedication to your Mum, dear Vijay. How fortunate are we to have have had that love and guidance in our lives. I come from a family of eight, five girls and three boys. Now when i think back with fond memories of my Mother, I cannot help but feel that she was an Angel put in our midst. If we tested her patience, we didn't see her frustration. Your Mother sounds a wonderful sweet Soul. Good luck in the contest dear Vijay...Hugs
