Shanti My Mother

Songs and lullabies of yours still echo in my ears
Hands that caressed me, the soft touch still lingers
And your cheer ups helped me to move on, dear
Never ever you let me remain sad and in tears 
To you I used to turn when I was treated unfair
In your absence but, I felt quite overawed, I swear

Mother! You are still etched in my memories
You are ensconced in heart’s golden reveries

May you also be blessed and rest in peace
Oh dear! We pray and wish you get solace
Times cannot tear a loving silhouette apiece
Happy Mothers’ Day, our love does not cease
Else I would have drowned in depth of seas
Remain you will, my life’s firm centerpiece

SHANTI (My Mother's name; it means peace)

This is such a beautiful tribute to your mother, Chutani. How serene and beautiful. A mother is a treasure. I lost mine 15 years ago to an incurable disease. I've written about it....March 18 Memories. I enjoyed reading this piece. Your mother's name is beautiful.
