I Still Seek- - Poem by Bharati Nayak
I Still Seek- -
Croak, croak
Croaks the frog
The sky is overcast
With clouds
Raindrops falling
And forming puddles
My friend tells
The frog will come and
take away your mother.
See, how he calls.
Oh frog, do this never
Never take away my mother
Oh she loves me
She feeds me
She sends me to school
She tells me stories
She cares me when I fall sick
Oh frog, never
Never take away my mother.
I held my mother's hand
Pleaded her to take me in her lap
Ask her to hold me tight
And cover me with her saree
So that I can not hear
When the frog croaks.
My mother's assuring hand
Caressed my head
She sang me a lullaby
Planted a kiss on my forehead
Sat by my side till I fell asleep
With my mother by my side
Darkness thinned
Fear vanished.
Time has passed
Years have gone by
I have left mother for my new home
Mother has gone frail,
Still I seek her
When I feel worn out
She wipes away the worry
With the ANCHAL of her saree.
Anchal- -One end of saree.
Sweet remembrances of the childhood beliefs and fears very expressive of the love and attachment to your beloved mother. i suddenly fell into thoughts of life, love, care, concern which remains in us. they are deep and will follow us even after our death till we meet our loved ones in heaven. this is my faith. thank you dear Bharati.
Thank you dear Tony for your comments.Mother 's love is the most beautiful love.It is said that every girl has a mother in her..You can see a small girl playing as mother to a boy of her age.Compassion, kindness and taking care of others are so very natural attributes of a mother.Mother-child bond is unique bond.When we are in pain, we call out our mother..
Very nice poem in good words, excellent meaning with on some natural themes, thank you for it dear poet
Amazing idea of expressing how much is the bondage between u and your great mother.
The anxiety of a child for her mother has beautifully been expressed. A mother's AANCHAL(saree end) is a means to the child hide from fears. Beautiful
