Star of My Life

Star of My Life

I remember the times we sat up late,

counting the stars scattered over the nightly sky;

and every time you raised your finger asking:

"Mamma, which is the brightest? Isn't it this one?"

You would point; and I, oblivious of the stars,

for my star lives beside me; within me, making me complete,

would point laughingly at you, my son;

touching your nose lightly, I'd say:

"It's right here, for real stars are not found on the sky,

but in the hearts of their ol' mum..."

Shining brighter than ever, you dim everything else, 

as I fill my eyes with your light...

I remember,

I remember everything;

as I fade away but see you grow...

you; the star of my life.

Thanks so much for reading this one and liking (to an extent:P) I think it depends on who you consider as one. And seeing as how much of a softie I am lol for me they exist in this world ;)

I really like the depth of love and affection, which is real only can be felt, cant express as words are less than a feeling that can be only be felt. But you have tried well to explain clearly with imagery.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for liking. I appreciate it 😊

A piece full of parental, maternal devotion and told in a sweet loving voice

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for the nice words of appreciation. I'm glad you liked it 😊

[Honourbrite]

As a mother of three I find it touching. I feel the light in my children's eyes as they grow and learn, and it moves me, as they are forever part of me. Very pretty

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for appreciating. I'm glad you could relate to this write 😊

[Paul Bell]

Mothers do good. Always there to boost you up when things don't go your way. More importantly, always there to tell you, she's not the one. lol

[Dr. YumnaKay]

True... Thank you for adding your thoughts here. I appreciate it 😊

[M P Ramesh]

Yumnakay,
The love and its continuity when it apples to mother and son/daughter is a delicate subject matter and I often feel and find that only writers with fair sex excel it. However I am of a different opinion regarding the SEX in writers and I even disagree with those who tries to demarcate it.
But if the inner screens unfolds like above I sometimes forget my stands.

excellent attempt indeed


....carry on...............

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Not sure if I understand your comment regarding writers with fair sex, either way I appreciate your liking this attempt. Thank you 😊

[M P Ramesh]

It's nothing . Demarcating man writers and woman writers and area of their strength in few subjects

mp

[Dr. YumnaKay]

That's sexist in my opinion! Anyone can write on any topic regardless of the gender..

[M P Ramesh]

May be.
But Few lines Simon wrote can not be acheived by Sartre.
I mean it may be a reality.
But I find Kalidasa excel than any woman wirters when he starts exploring a WOMAN MIND.
Or will it be that all woman writers were silenced during the period on gender bias?

mp

[JessyJacob]

i demarcate about your view, you just cant say woman writers silenced, they just wont expose on public boards, but they do where it needs to be. And this is land where woman is respected like Goddess, we being woman never try to be on public talk, we know where to be like what. "Chandrika". Hope you dont just making fun of your own writings.

[SleeplessVolcano]

well, fathers can appreciate it too...:P

We find ourselves when we find peace in the next generation.....your words have expressed so well the heart of the parent and how our whole existence is wrapped around our children.

Great poetry.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Of course fathers can too. But it's harder for them to express themselves verbally as compared with the mothers.
I agree with your sentiments and truly appreciate your liking this piece. Thank you 😊
