A Forgiving Mother

A Forgiving Mother

A Poem by Devanshi
"

A mother's love is the most forgiving and lasting one.

"

Her hands hold mine,

For a noticeable chunk of time.

The warmth unable to be released,

Of her soft hands that would never cease.


I spill out the words,

Out of excitement like flying birds,

I never meant to say them,

You didn’t want to hear them.


How was I unable to realize,

That they would hurt your soft heart?

How did it never occur to me,

That holding in words,

Was part of a growing me?


I want you to be mine,

Forever until the love shines.

A mother can never be replaced,

My words will henceforth,

Never be misplaced.


You came back.

If I were you, I would never have.

You are a mother true to your soul,

Forgiving as you are,

Your words correct my soul.


Never shall I take advantage,

Of your forgiving self.

I will change into a better being,

Like the protagonists on that book shelf.


Her hands hold mine once again,

Her face beaming with pride,

To see her girl becoming like her,

To see the love we are beginning to regain.


I shall never push again,

That love towards the very edge,

Because I cannot bear to see twice,

You going far away, from my eyes.

This is a very moving poem, very tender and loving. If we learn and grown and do better, that is a true sign of love and that mother did well with her child. Excellent write!!!!

Thanks for your review!
I absolutely love your poems! I don't read much poems so I can't really say, but if I had to guess, then I think this poem could pass of as a professionally written poem. Amazing work!

It is indeed a beautiful write as other writers have reviewed. The relationship of mother and child, as a matter of fact, parents to a child is something that never changes, the other way round may change. Good job.

Thanks for the review!
A child when born and forever has a special relationship with his mother. I really like this piece and it has some special moments that one can relate to his/her own Mother.

Mother's contribution in the life can never be argued and is invaluable!

I had been waiting for you to publish new piece, loved reading!

Welcome, my pleasure!
In the 3rd grouping, change the first word heart to hurt. I think that is what you meant to say. A very deeply moving write. Valentine
