O Mother!

O Mother!

A Poem by Shalini Dinesh
























O MOTHER!


O mother, mother of mine!
Who lives on heaven and earth!
You’re my goddess divine,
I may now have tons of gold,
But precious of them all
Is your motherhood untold!

Oh it was you! You were the one,
To brighten each of my day
Just like the yellow golden sun,
Like the summer rain brings joy,
You accompanied when I was bored
You were mama’s little girl’s toy.

You taught me how to grow and learn,
Now am grown enough to earn,
You were my first teacher and friend,
Our lovely bond shall never ever end!

Mom, I really had no guilt or fears,
For even in the worst of times,
You were there to wipe my tears,
You cared for me each and every hour,
And always smiled at me
Just like the fresh-bloomed flower!

You spared your sleep when I was ill,
Stayed awake to just look at me
Sure to know that I was sleeping still,
All of your love, with me you shared
Neither left me hungry nor alone at home,
There wasn’t a day were you hadn’t cared,

How as a mother you are really good,
Shower you my love I really should,
Now am grown and want to be like you,
For good mothers are really, really so few!

I like your poem, exept for the line, What lives on heaven and earth!
Change "what" to "who."

Yes, good mothers are few and far between. It's always a happy sight to see a parent and a child have such a good bond. That means the parent lived up to their role. I likes this it was very sweet and reminded me of the bond I had with my mother.

True...they're really so few. I wish my mom was the one who you described up there, I loved this poem, such a beautiful use of rhymes. Nothing should be changed, and nothing CAN be changed. It's just so perfect :)
Great work!
