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) 02.04.2015

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.
