Mother had a soft and glowing goddess-like aura around her. Soft-spoken, loving, kind, compassionate and generous, she had an aura of saintliness which brought peace and comfort to everyone around her.
I am transported back to that moment in time. I am flooded with sweet memories of those bygone days, those summer nights when Mother gathered us children around her, sitting on the front steps of our small house, Mother told us stories that carried us to distant lands, across seas and oceans and kingdoms. Fireflies glowed in the dark and we listened in rapt attention as we gazed at the starlit sky.
Oh, how I yearn for those childhood days, those captivating stories, those fireflies, the starlit sky, my Mother’s voice and most of all, my dear, sweet Mother.
Mother left us on 22nd April, this year.
Mother gifted me the passion for reading and poetry and Mother’s words will forever remain poignant pieces of poetry in my heart and sadness now haunts my every rhyme.
My Poem, Mother, Sweet Mother, from my Poetry Book Colors of Delight.
Mother, why are you sad? I see you wipe a tear Mother, tell me, dear mother Tell me what you fear. I'll hold you in a tight embrace And never let you go I'll wash away your pain with my tears Sweet mother, I love you so. Mother you gave me the sweetest love Sweeter than life to me Love sweeter than heaven above Sweet mother, you gave to me Mother, to see you look so sad My heart aches in pain Mother, look my tears are falling Falling fast as rain. You sheltered me from Life's storms When the storms were raging You are my anchor mother dear Battles for me you were waging. What's stolen your happiness? Do tell me mother dear Mother, my heart's breaking Mother, draw me close and near. My heart's heavy with deep sorrow Mother your pain breaks my heart Sweet mother, I will always love you Mother, as you did from the start. I know father's gone to war Mother, is that your sorrow? Mother, I am always by your side Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Mother, you don't speak a word Your hands are cold as ice Mother, wake up sweet mother dear Just look into my eyes. Look father's just back from the war Wake up sweet mother dear Mother, you don't hear me, do you? My heart's filled with fear. Mother, my heart's filled with tears Mother, can you feel my heart? Sweet mother, I'll always love you Mother, as you did from the start.
Lovely 💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
