My Mother, My Teacher

You are the epitome of

Love,

Beauty,

Peace,

and Purity!

With which each child is nurtured

And treasured!

It was you, dear mother,

Who without a smother,

Sat by my cradle bed,

Caressing my head!

With your hand in mine, I could walk miles after miles,

You were always there encouraging me with your smile.

Your presence gave me strength,

You will be in my heart till my last breath!

The words you spoke motivated me,

They made the purpose of my life clear for me!

You, my dear, mother are,

Selfless,

Magnanimous,

Altruistic,

Only you could think,

Of others before self!

 

When the time came you let me free,

to spread my wings, into the new horizon,

I sped with glee,

You knew no harm will come, you had trained me to be as strong as iron!

 

I always came back to your side

You stood there with your head held up in pride!

 

Your teachings were so pure

That you were always sure

No wrong will I ever do

All your teachings, I promise I will confirm!

 

This is the least I can do,

For you, my first teacher

In life!

I pray for wisdom and freedom,

That like you, my mother, let me be fearsome,

Bless me to use my knowledge and might

For the right things!

 

I know your love is priceless,

I only want to bow in front of you in silence.

My mother, my teacher,

You are my strength

You are the intent

Behind my goal!

Bless me to play well in each role!
