Mum..my dearest Mum


Paradise is the essence of her tenderness and care
Heart and soul she raised me up, dressed me from toe to head
Even when I rebelled she was the one who held the olive branch
Never gave up a fight for me and made me believe in second chance
Often she sacrificed so I can live in peace and be at ease  
Mother, one in a million my first love, my life’s breeze
Every time I try to understand how she absorbed the pain I get only confusion
Never knew such a heart that survived so much bruises
A mystery that doesn't have to be revealed, she had brought a man out of a seed
Long live our mothers, our shining stars above the ocean of troubles and difficulties

    1. Thanks man..I hope you're not as rebellious as me.. I feel that someday my mom's gonna bring a shotgun instead of an olive branch :D yeah..we'd better value our mothers before it's too late.

  3. It sounds as if you had a very special mom and you appreciated all she went through. I think eventually all children (hopefully) come to that realization that mothering is a special talent and a special gift.

  4. Indeed ma'm. If you'll see what she had been gone through in the process of bringing me up, this writing may seem very very little. I guess this maybe the case with all mothers.
    We children have got to understand the talent of mothering so we can act wisely and correctly towards our mothers.

  9. hihihihihi..don't envy me much, at some point words will turn against you :D.
    Our mothers are our guarding angels, so much sacrifice have been done that we don't know about.
    Thank you very much for the kind words ARTI. Very nice of you to pass by ;)
