Mom And Mantle

        

  The mantle mentioned in the title of this poem is nothing but the saree and it's pallu that can also be a sort of reference for the drape. Hope I will be able to touch your hearts with this beautiful poem about a simple clothing called 'saree'. Of course a saree may even be sold for few hundreds, thousands and lakhs but it is very special as you read this.

Mom's saree drape is a beautiful piece of elegance and grace. It serves many uses and innumerable purposes.   

Mom's saree drape serves for drying her children's fears so she can take away their fears.                            

Mom's saree drape becomes an anchor a sort of a guide easy to slide.          

Mom's glorious saree mantle wiped many a perspiring brow bent over the hot wood atove.                          

Mom's saree drape becomes a duster without any hassles when unexpected guests were about to drop in later.       

Mom's saree drape becomes a shade and a safe place to hide when shy children wanted to hide .                       

Mom's saree drape would be like a guide when a child could hold it on and move around in this big bad world.            

Mom's saree pallu or drape is simply priceless without a price tag as it has come of use a countless number of times.  

It is a big wonder if anything like a mom's saree pallu or drape is invented which is not simply a cloth but a bundle of so many beautiful purposes which only a mom can handle with her mantle.
