My mum 90 yrs old and still sharp!

In open playing fields on muddy ground, little fight amongst us children abound. Petty things would spark arguments to fight, sans reason so hard to say who was right. Friends suddenly stop talking, walk away, forget all and play together next day. Sad with torrential tears some may hurry, to doting mums to seek sanctuary. A loving hug, a kiss would quickly cure, thrown with some loving lisps to just ensure. Years roll by and age races past our mind, warmth of her love is never left behind. Decades since those quarrels on playing field, even now in trouble I seek her shield. Wisest of men, bravest in history, in hard times have sought mum’s sanctuary! At age sixty at life’s eddy current, still seek wise light of my only parent! 2nd placement ‘Sanctuary‘ Couplet poetry contest Sponsor Silent one Written 16/08/2020

Krish, an amazing tribute to your mum, and to that sanctuary we all desire of a mother's undying love. Well spoken, I like where you took the sanctuary theme. Very inspiring. Enjoy every second you can with her, what a gift! ~ John

You and I are the same age, my friend (60). Your mum looks really good for 90. I lost mine 3 years ago now, thus my encouragement to enjoy her while you can. Ask her stories about her past, what her dream career would have been, how she chose names for her children, what her favourite ice cream was when she was a girl. She will love the attention and you will love the history. Best ~ John
