Mother Poem by Mallika Achuthan Menon

Mother

Rating: 5.0


One and only court is there
and it is unique to each and all.
Endurance with patience often
is its emblem all through this world.
No crime or sentence discussed there
Punishments can be waived as well.
Can you guess what it can be?
Kind and gentle mind of
every mother in this universe
can be named so, my readers!

Her heart is like a rarest jewel,
which emanates rays of immense love.
When one new life starts throbbing in womb
all her dreams start dancing with it.
She may seem an all rounder at home
Not at all free to make a sigh.
Still the lilting of one swaying cradle
get lingered with her own pulses.

God has titivated her pretty mind with
a readiness for many sacrifices.
A self immolation is an easy task
if that is needed for her tots.
Every step along the way
to guard and guide
she pursues them.
No returns are ever expected
though she toils her own life.
Unconditional love and
incalculable sincereness
made her duty bound angel.
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
We can say in one voice that
Hats off to each and every mom! !

'O God, how come is it easy for you
to have a look on each one of us? '
The God has aptly quipped up to me:
'To lessen my own several duties
I just made the mother on earth, dear..'
I get honored then and there
As I too am a mother of one.

A mother is real and true living deity of love, kindness, patience and duty. Nature is also amazing mother. A mother guards and guides every step of child. A very nice and thoughtful poem drafted from heart. Excellent...10

No voluminous tomes are enough to describe the pivotal role a Mother plays in our lives. When one new life starts throbbing in womb, all her dreams start dancing with it. I liked these lines very much. Thanks for sharing.

It is always a wonder why God created woman to be a pro-creator and give her the unique gifts of mothering. Their role is an emblem of God's love. She's God-like. You have beautifully painted motherhood in the verses above. Thank you.
