Remembering Mother - a Tribute To All Mothers

in everything I do, I think of her,
in laughter, in grief and in still silence,
is part of me, like language to grammar,
in my body, in mind, in deep conscience.

in physical no more, she is long gone!
is the abject essence of life and death,
that truth is written the day we are born,
inconvenient fact we forget each breath.

her time travelled brain and ticking wisdom,
like invisible hands of nature’s clock,
abundant love in motherly kingdom,
she sheltered our lives like a giant rock!

there was that shine in her eye that spoke love,
that can only be the language of Gods,
she could heal our minds with a playful shove,
a touch, a kiss like we were little tod!

Farewell my dear mother, farewell, farewell,
inseparable, although you are gone!
in hearts and minds you shall forever dwell,
with your love in my heart, I wake each morn!

10 Syllables each line

Krish, I can relate totally to this lively poem.Each mother has special ties to us. Although, I was shocked to find people who loathed their mothers. Mothers Day is not joyful for each human being!! You and I were fortunate to have special Relationships with ours, thank God! A great tribute. Panagiota
