What I Feel No Words Could Bear

What would be of me
if you could be with me

How would be my present days
if ever you were spared other few days

I open wide my heart so as you I can see
and stand in awe of the woman I would see!

I will not weep or tend to lament
just swallow every moan and each lament

I knelt to the grace of God’s Hands
for the blessing to kiss my mother’s hands

I prayed for a time to once again see you
graced with your presence and a kiss from you

The woman I see as I close my eyes
that’s you, mum, the apple of my eyes

I do remember now my promise and vow
in my words I’d honour your Beauty I avow

Precious praiseworthy parent, my very pride
a sweet scented Rose, a lofty tree in your pride

Envy could not sow its seeds into my heart
as your passionate Love would immune my heart

Here I am on a special day that honours every dear mum 
what I feel no words could bear as you are not here, mum..

Besma

Loved this beautifully rhyming poem on your dear mum. I can gauge the depth of felial love expressed here by you as a loving daughter. A caring, loving Mother is an immaculate presence at home. When she is gone, her memories will instil and guide her children. This dedication to all mothers is a wonderful tribute to motherhood

Of inestimable value are mothers! Their presence is the epitome of guidance, security and Love.. their absence is an aching crack in our lives whatever is our age.. Your words are soothingly beautiful, dear Valsa.. thank you so much for your graceful presence! My deepest regards and blessings.

I am not surprised this made POTD my friend. Your pen is powerful but your heart even more. Your mom , " the diamond of your soul " must be smiling from above. Bursting at the seams with pride for her daughter. Keep doing what you are doing dear heart, splaying that sunshine all over the place every day, Much love to you, always, and forever, Vie.

My dearest Besma, it has been too long since I have immersed my self in the wonders and beauties of your golden heart and soul. As soon as I read your title and first couplet I knew this poem was to honor your beloved and dearly missed mum. I especially loved; "Precious praiseworthy parent, my very pride" such admiration and love spills forth from your exquisite pen. I feel your every word as they reflect my own heart for my departed mom. A prayerful, reverent and loving piece. Congratulations for the dual honors of POTD and POTW. Honors richly deserved, dear poetess. Warmest wishes, love and hugs to you, my sweet poetry sister.. ~Susan
