Mother - A Poem on Mother .....

Mother

Strong and soft,

Tough and tender,

Creator’s delight,

Beholder’s wonder

Embodied beauty –

That’s Mother,

Embodies life –

That’s Mother !!

Delicate and distinct,

Malleable and mild,

Strength unlimited,

Support undeterred,

Unbreakable, unbeatable –

That’s Mother,

Empowered by the Divine –

That’s Mother !!

-Wonderfully written Vanita.It is very difficult to describe any mother simply because every mother is unique and an ultimate creation of God. Your words conveyed that beautifully. Great write.

Thanks, Chitrangadaji for your lovely comments.

Pappa is doing well. His treatment is going on well. I came back from the hospital half an hour back - saw him and had a few words with him .... we are expecting him to be back soon.

Yes, prayers are being answered. Thanks to you and everyone. Please do keep praying.

Came back to read your wonderful post another time. It’s beautiful.

How is your father, Vanita? I am sure, he must be recovering by God’s Grace.

My prayers for everyone affected.

Thank you for sharing this.

Beautiful poem aptly describing mother, Vanita. Words cannot describe the depth of love a mother showers on her children. But you have managed to do justice to that feeling. Thank you.

My Didi ji.

I have written about 60 poems on mothers and there's still an eternal pit to full. Love and sacrifice ... love and sacrifice. Noble theme!

Beautifully penned!

Namasthe Vanithaji, such a wonderful tribute to a Mother. Unbreakable, undeterred, strength unlimited, delicate...You have packed in so much emotion in so few words akin to a mother. Kudos.

Chitrangada Sharan from New Delhi, India on October 01, 2020:

Beautiful expressions. As you say, it’s difficult to define relationships in words, and most difficult to describe the Mother. As they say, a mother can fit into every possible role, but it’s not possible to fit into the role of a mother.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem.

Vanita Thakkar (author) on October 01, 2020:
