Thank you Mom!

Hello! Here's one more poem, dedicated to my mom to continue the chain!

A Tribute to my mom


It’s hard to believe that you are entering your seventies soon
You still seem to me the sweet mother of yore.
You’ve sweat blood for us, for me and brothers two,
With father by your side, as a pillar of support, true.

Even now as I think of the way you’ve toiled
Balancing your work between office and home,
My eyes turn wet for the care so perfect.
At the expense of your health you have worked for our best,
Caring not for rest, duty always first.

And now that you are old, your children well-settled,
Each leading their own lives, in the way they think is best,
It makes us proud to feel that shattered dreams of yours
You’ve never thrust on us.

Bad times you’ve tided, with all the courage in the world
You’ve always been for us, a friend, philosopher and guide.
Your zest for learning things, with age being no bar,
Has always inspired us, me and brothers too.

And now at the zenith of your life, you are the guiding light of our life
Basking in the warmth of your love, we’ll walk the path you have laid
Remembering one thing in our minds-
“How famous to become, we will think not of that,
How best we make of life, is what will matter most.”

 

Hi!

That was an excellent poem Malathi, a befitting tribute to your mother! Those were lovely verses Cheer!!

How i wish i could write too!! Our mother's mean the world to all of us. Why only mother's, our parents mean the world to us. To me, my mother is my ideal woman. She has been a wonderful mom to me & my sister & if i can be half as good as her, as a mother, i'll be happy & contented.
Just want to take this oppurtunity to say a 'big thank you' to her for everything which words cannot describe!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!!

Ragini.

 

Dear Cheer,

On the ocassion of Mother's day, it is a good thread that you have started. Here is a song which I would like to share with you all.

Mother of Mine

Mother of mine
You gave to me
All of my life
To do as I please
I owe everything
that I have to you
Mother, sweet mother of mine

Mother of mine
You gave me happiness
much more than what I can say
I pray to Lord that he may bless you
every night and every day
Mother, sweet mother of mine

Regards,

TDU

 

Malathy,

You touched my heart - your tribute reflected my feelings for my mother. Thank you especially for the following lines

Bad times you’ve tided, with all the courage in the world
You’ve always been for us, a friend, philosopher and guide.
Your zest for learning things, with age being no bar,
Has always inspired us, me and brothers too.

And now at the zenith of your life, you are the guiding light of our life
Basking in the warmth of your love, we’ll walk the path you have laid

Cheer,

Thanks for starting this thread and the lovely links also.

அன்னையை நினைக்காத ஜீவன் உண்டோ
அன்னையை நினைக்காத நாளும் உண்டோ
இருப்பினும் அவளை கொண்டாட
பிரத்தியேகமாக ஒரு நாளை குறிக்க
என் தாயை போற்றி
பணிந்து வணங்கினேன்

அப்பொழுது என்
மனத்தில் நின்றனர் சிலர்

நம்மை எல்லாம் படைத்த
அன்னை ஜகன்மாதா

இயற்கை அன்னை

அன்னபூரணி

பாரத தாய்

கண்ணனை பெற்ற தேவகி
வளர்த்த யாசோதை
