My Mother

An ode to my mom...

A ray of hope,

A shining light,

A gift of God,

A reassuring sight.

A blessing of heaven,

A comforting face,

A rose pure,

In the world’s race.

A blessing Divine,

A sparkling star,

Whose hug takes you,

Into a world afar.

Face aglow,

Smiling sweet,

Helping you,

Stand on your feet.

Comforting us,

When we cry,

Working day and night,

But never a sigh.

To me she is,

Very dear,

With her by my side,

Never fear.

Author's Note

I wrote this for my mother about 4 years back. I haven't edited it again so any suggestions are welcome. :) And send me a title picture for the poem.

SOUL LESS -

As a mother of two boys (one being disabled) ... I am deeply touched, as your words speak of unconditional love and affection toward her.

My childs hug, it will live on eternity for it is so precious to me.

You enlighten me with what mine hugs and love feels like to them.

Have a wonderful day! Thank you...

this is a very sweet, beautiful poem and so very true. Anyone would be lucky to have a mother like this and i concider myself one of the lucky ones. When everyone around you fails you, you always know there is one person in the world that never will :) hope she know how much she means to you and never let her forget it

I keep thinking if I have received a poem like that. This poem can melt any heart... and mostly because we feel in each sentence such an honesty, and a word transparency. So beautiful, pure, and real. I really loved you poem, and as a mother, I would love if was for me.

Wow. This is great. Poems like this would definitely pass as a candidate for the best gift you can give to your mom on mothers' day. :)) Anyway, it's simple but beautiful, touching and sweet. Your mom must be proud of you. Keep on writing. ;)

I feel like the line endings are very abrupt and that it makes a more loving and heart-felt poem feel too harsh and quick moving.
Aside from that, the poem is really cute and well written.

beautiful piece, very true in description to a mother's love.
good flow and rhythm and nice choice of words throughout.

as far as a picture, I imagined light, pastel hues of a hug between mother and child. couldnt find anything on google tho, may paint it if i can..
