'my Best Friend'

My mother said "it's ok, When I got less marks in the exam. She said it's ok, When I was in trouble. She said it's ok, When I did some mischief. She said it's ok, When I regretted for something. She said it's ok, When I forgot her for some time. She is my best friend 'amma', For she will say the same ever. But I fail to say it's ok To my son and fear He'll select another as best!

A warm welcome to poetry Soup Litty. With such a large group. Of about 30,000 poets I will not promise to read every poem that you post but I sure will try to respond as much as I am able.

it's ok to say, it's ok, but fear that we might say it the wrong time when they need guidance. Welcome Litty. Hugs a new friend

Litty, SO nice, to see this One, hope to see more than juSt One. :), Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you Linda. I have a keen interest in men, women, animals and plants. With God's grace I wrote a collection. Hope you will see and give feedback.

Wonderful poem-meditation on the habit of new education, self-education and less understanding between generation. I enjoyed your verse because they have the simple wisdom of love. Congrat. There was a movie called Pollyanna, in which a little girl taught everybody the play of happiness. Also, serial called Decalogue by Kieslowski in which a scientist is asked by his little boy what is God. The man could not find the proper words, but his sister embraces her nephew, that is tenderness, love.
