My Mother

Sea waves,golden sands, pilgrims’ faith,

Rameswaram Mosque Street, all merge into one,

My Mother !

You come to me like heaven’s caring arms.

I remember the war days when life was challenge and toil-

Miles to walk, hours before sunrise,

Walking to take lessons from the saintly teachings near the

temple.

Again miles to the arab teaching school,

Climb sandy hills to the Railway Station Road,

Collect, distribute newspapers to temple city citizens,

Few hours after sunrise, going to school.

Evening , business time before study at night.

All this plan of a young boy,

My Mother you transformed into pious strength

With kneeling and bowing five times

For the Grace of the Almighty only, My Mother.

Your strong piety is your children’s strength,

You always shared your best with whoever needed the most,

You always gave, and gave with faith in Him.

I still remember the day when I was ten,

Sleeping on your lap to the envy of my elder brothers and

sisters

i

Page 4: Child's first love

It was full moon night, my world only you knew

Mother ! My Mother !

When at midnight I woke with tears falling on my knee

You knew the pain of your child, My Mother.

Your caring hands, tenderly removing the pain

Your love, your care, your faith gave me strength

To face the world without fear and with His strength.

We will meet again on the great Judgement Day, My Mother!

APJ Abdul Kalam

Hands of an Angel

Her hands held me gently from

the day I took my first breath,

Her hands helped to guide me

as I took my first step.

Her hands held me close when

the tears would start to fall,

Her hands were quick to show me that she would take care of

it all....

Her hands were there to brush my hair on straighten a

wayward bow,

Her hands were always there to comfort the hurts that din’t

always show.

Her hands helped hold the stars in place and encouraged me

to reach,

Her hands would clap and cheer and praise when I captured

them at length.

Her hands would also push me, though not down or in harmful

way,

Her hands would punctuate the words , just to do what I say.

1

Page 9: Child's first love

Her hands sometimes had to be disciplined to help bend this

young tree,

Her hands would shape and mould me into all that she know I

could be....

Her hands are now twisting with age and years of work,

Her hands now need my gentle touch to rub away the hurt.

Her hands are more beautiful than anything can be,

Her hands are the reason I am me!...

Now can you guess which angel is she...

‘MAA’ and she’s no more than anything in this world to me!

-Nikita Samal

Mother

She is the shadow in the hot sun.

She is the one who cheers you to have fun.

She is the one who wipes out your tears.

She doesn’t want you to cry.

She is the one who helps you for the first step.

She is the one who bears all mishap.

She is the one who bears all tears

She will never say you good bye.

And that’s my Mama, sees the right.

And that’s your Mama , by your side.

She is better than your best friend & that’s true.

She will never leave you.

My heaven lies beneath her feet.

She’s the kinda one who’s never discrete.

From the problems she will never retreat.

One to rely...

Page 11: Child's first love

Yes, we all do hurt her many times.

Yes, we make her cry too sometimes

Even then she’s our sunshine.

Lighting our life so bright....

Oh! Maa...

The very first word a child would utter is always

Maa, mummy, mom, mumma, mooma…

Oh Maa, you filled my days with rainbow light,

fairy tales and sweet dream night.

With so much ease you take away my fears,

With so much love you wipe out my tears.

Your tender care and your hands in my hair,

Your gentle touch and your love so

fair.

I thank you for you’ve given me the

gift of life,

Your deep warm hugs and your tips

to fly.

I love you, oh Maa

I love you so much….

I am nothing without you,

You are my heart and my soul.

I hope when you think of me,

A part of you, you’ll always see in me.

Twinkle twinkle little star..

How I wonder what you are!

Right inside my heart you lie

You are my MOM, my cutie pie!!

My mother is crying

Between the planet Venus and Mars Lies mother Earth, Which we say is ours But who do really cares ? Once it was so beautiful Fully clean and green

But now it seems To be a dream.

Trees are its life But we take it so light So light we take, that We never stop to cut But with each and every cut

We make her life short.

It is so calm, so composed and silent But one day it will become violent So violent it will become, That every creature Will suffer in the future.

Page 15: Child's first love

Before it is too long,

Let us join our hands

Not to do any wrong

Save O’ save her,

Or soon she will meet her end……

Always be my side….

Mother Earth

Oh! Mother Earth…

To us you have given birth ,

You give us food and water,

I am your beloved daughter.

You are to us so kind,

But towards most of your kindness, man is blind.

These blessed stills cuts your trees,

To us you give such cool breeze.

Oh! Mother Earth…

To us you have given birth.

You nurture us with so much love,

For whatever need you are our treasure trove.

You teach us to be kind,

To everyone, small or blind.

You are the source of all,

Be it a planted river or waterfall.

10

Page 18: Child's first love

Oh! Mother Earth…

To us you have given birth.

You do care for us,

Patiently, without asking for a fee.

To love and to serve God,

To be free and not to be bound.

-Prakruti Patel

Love∞

Those many waiting weeks, You carried me. I felt the pulse of your love,

When yet I had not learn’d to breathe. And my heartbeat echoed your own, And then you welcomed me A screaming bundle of work And taught me of love. In the caress of your tired embrace, Tired from the love of labor for me. As I clutched your work worn hand, You showed me my rich inheritance. A world of people, All mine to love. You taught me the wonder of things unseen, The vastest love of all.....

Life without Mother

It is like tolling of the bells

this morning.

It is almost dawn but still dark.

I am awake, but away in

my own head.

I think about you, and

Wonder if I should ask

if you miss her.

I am working,

Silent in the particle darkness

I watch my own mother

sleeping on the sofa.

Often times I have felt

so much hate her

for so much pain she brings

for so many stupid moves.

But seeing her sleeping there

I realize how much I love her,

My blessing, my mother.

13

Page 21: Child's first love

There are so many of my friends.

Who feel the same

one , whose mother verbally abuses her

one, whose mother only feeds her own addictions

and you whose mother casts herself away

from you as though you do not exist.

She sleeps ,and I feel so lucky.

She sleeps and I actually miss her

I miss her while she sleeps

And I wonder if I should ask

You if you miss her.

I know you do
