Mothers

Mothers                          by Sami Khalil

 

While I burst on the scene, though momentous

With a loud cry, grabbing hold of made life

Bonding evoked awe and joys stupendous

Carried by affable hands, nine moons in strife.

 

Now, among men drifting from the orchard

Finding oneself between past and future

Losing not sight of her, moving forward

This signpost of noble self and humor.

 

You arise in my heart with steams, sans fogs

Scented roses wafting through an apron

Pots stirred in tow, needless of famed food logs

Nourishing bodies and souls, whence partaken.

 

Mothers! With keener sights, you are cherished

Built on the brow of hills where ‘Time’ perished.

A lovely discriptive way of describing motherhood

[Sami Khalil]

So glad you like it. Mothers are truly special in our hearts. Be blessed.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A sonnet to celebrate that which most of us cherrish but not enough. The third stanza is my favourite in its description of motherhood and the reassuring things mothers undertake.

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy woooo! Thank you so much dear poet and friend for this wonderful review. I agree. God bless. Glad to see you.

"The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." William Ross Wallace I think we need the love and care of mothers more than ever in these trying times. Great write.

Love them or hate them we all need them at some point or another in our lives and little do some of us know, we always need them. Beautifully done my friend.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! So true and well articulated. I can't agree more. I think they are instrumental in shaping our views and characters. I could be wrong. Thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
