MY STRENGTH
IS EBBING AWAY
A PART OF ME
HAS PASSED AWAY
I PLAY THE DIRGE
AND SOME CONCIERGE
WHO CAN CONSOLE ?
MY SORROWED SOUL
HER GOD SENT LOVE
WAS ALL THAT FILLED MY HEART
AND WHATEVER TRIPPED FROM IT
WAS A REMNANT OF THAT
HOW HER LOVE POURED
INTO MY HEART
GAVE ME STRENGTH
TO SHARE , TO SACRIFICE
OH ! SWEET MOTHER
IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU
I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN
CONCERN FOR THE OTHER
IT REMAINS FURTHER
TO CHILDREN GATHER
IT REMAINS FURTHER
TO CHILDREN GATHER
TO POUR A MOTHER'S LOVE
INTO ANOTHER
Such a heart warming poem, mother's love is the source of all love.
ReplyDeleteMother love is wonderful love, and I agree with Vandana about it being the source of all love.
ReplyDeleteit does remain up to the children to share the love of the mother on with the next one....
ReplyDeleteA very warm poem and a lovely tribute to your mother and the love she poured out to her children!
ReplyDeleteNeat way of thinking about mother and mothering. I like the giving and reserving of it and then passing it on.
ReplyDeletelovely poem to the one person in our lives who has many strengths...
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the idea of passing the love along. And that your mother taught you "concern for the other".
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words of a mothers love and our love of our mothers. How much we learn from them.
