No Sign of a Whine, a Smiling Mother

My heart I set on a dear companion the cherished imprint on my soul, profound how safe I felt in a tough kind bosom! though I ceased to touch and see, tightly bound. *** Sweet and pleasant, that huge effort and toil no sign of a whine, a smiling mother whims she would swallow, our feast wouldn't spoil the feel of having her, like no other! *** A glance at my eyes, she would read my heart "ignore the pain, you have to dig your mine" her persona, to me she would impart how could I be without the whole of mine! *** One tear of joy.. one other of woe in time of grief, she had a bride to wed her head bowing to what's to life a foe I'm that one whose dad in wedding time dead. *** No sign of a whine! her soul valiant her words I retain, "I'm a woman of worth"! how she longed for life! hers was transient "recite me holy words.. I'm back to earth". *** A companion when I recall, I learn a woman, the world of books didn't know of impressive drive, much she would discern mother, the one I am, to you I owe.

Mothers are priceless.... no doubt ! When we become mothers we start cherishing our mothers more than we did before. Never a whine, but facing the tribulations of life with fortitude and stoic determination. Your mother resembles closely to my mother and I think I have written almost a dozen poems on my mother. We are what we are today because of our mothers. Your mother must be immensely proud of you Besma !

An awesome tribute you wrote, Besma, to selfless love of a mother--and with your poem in your cherished words, you honor all mothers. I picture her to be a valiant defender-- defying all ills to protect her family. So touching and heartfelt is your write. Much gratitude in your words...and much strength in recall of her life. Well done, indeed!
