To My Mother

To my mother From perspective of a son How could I forget the pain she took for me, Bringing me into this world to savour life in glee, Fed on her blood and milk as I opened my eyes, Her heavenly smile erased my tears and intense cry, Nurtured with selfless love I was no more a boy, She is still my dream girl though her youth has passed by, Gracious grey hair maturity of thoughts, We recall fun and giggles on many funny plots, She knows all my wants and every moment I sigh, Strong emotional bond always been my pride, Her one touch and mountains can move, Possible without wings flight she can prove, Salute to all women as I grow into a man, Mother, the procreator His best creative plan, X of her strength I inherit in my each cell, My role model she is inspires me to excel! Written Sept 10th, 2015 For contest of Silent one Men only Gender sensitive contest ? Entered for Judy's "Tell us about your mother" contest It was written from perspective of a son since Silent one's contest was only for men, but I was tempted to enter, although I was not considered. Awarded 1st place win

Upma, I was confused for a moment because I thought always you were a girly girl, then I got to the bottom. . Nice write and very moving and thanks for visiting my poem, Frigidaire. .
