** My Mother ** Poem by ANJALI SINHA
** My Mother **
Do you know
what thou art to me?
Do u?
Not only the one
Who gave me birth
But,
Thou art ineffable, Sunaina, O, Sunaina
The most beautiful eyes.
Thine eyes more resplendent than
The brightest sun on earth
Thine are those eyes
Through which I see
This plenary universe.
Thou are that opal and saphhire
a light which shines aglitter
to show me
of my wandering wayward deeds.
Love to me, you taught to give
For each and evey one indeed.
No colour, caste or creed
Just love and love to all who need.
Thou teachest me
To walk the portals of
Rules of proper thought.
Not to do all desipient things I ought
Like whose my creator
And whose my all.
Thou sat by me
Through all my twaddle
Like sliced with knife
Those interminable years
Like springs and fountains
of water so pellucid so clear
Teaching me
the ABCs of life.
All these years
thou my guiding star,
and will guide me
for many more,
as I drive
these totiled highways
and junctions of life
Through thickest and thin
thou supported me
Wrong, when I did
thou spanked me though
nay, no regrets,
none do I have,
for all those spankings
Cos that’s what made me-
This solid granite
Me- what I am today.
Never shall I miss thee
Lo, in the vales of years beneath
you’re always in my heart
Not only as my mother
But best friend
Philosopher and guide
Sometimes I grudge
and misunderstand thee
but I have my compunction,
Pardon me for that transgression,
No matter how old,
I am but your child,
thine infant
Nay, thy babe
For ever and for ever.
MY MOM THE BEST IN THE WORLD
(P.S. Sunaina in hindi means beautiful eyes.)

a very fine poem, centered on discipline. i like the daughter made.
Anju, You become universal through this poem. Yuo remember me J.M. Synge's Maurya in Riders to the Sea. you really prove that your mother is the best in this world, so also mine.
Sparkling with splendor and bursting with beauty. Wonderful words Anjali! My only regret that I did not read it to my mother before she died.100/10
A remarkable reflection of a remarkable relationship! ! !
