a practiced smile on her face a mother’s oenomel breath puffs wind under gossamer wings reminiscent of the translucent wings of green lacewings— mistaken for a pest, but beneficial— to strike out and explore a thorny world resisting the siren call of spring’s scent turning their heads with songs of love emerging personalities unravel the cocoon spun in...

to come home to a mother, after a long day at school, to that greeting of love and care, to a spotless house, and aroma of food that she makes so well, to her healing maternal touch, … those bygone days, still stay with me… to drive home to a caring wife, waiting alone for me at home, for that hug and kiss, the...

Our sweet mother went to heaven one Spring day. Four years ago, the flowers folded their wings. Hymns, ethereal in the fog; smile at bay. Left at table, in closet, on shelves - her things. Most dearly departed, her ticket one-way. And my father cheers her urn each day. She’s in our hearts, our thoughts are off and flying. This family is...

UNCONDITIONAL To all the mothers, near and far, Beneath the brightest, guiding star, Or in the quiet, gentle gleam, Living out a precious dream. For every tear you've softly dried, For every fear you've cast aside, For scraped knees kissed and made anew, For whispered words, both kind and true. For sleepless nights and weary days, Lost in a loving, hazy maze Of tiny hands and...

My sweetness, from you, my first meal, Exclusively for six. And for many more months after~ The grub that made me tick. You'd go hungry for me to eat. Still my tum begs for more What yours for days has been denied, For hunger there to roar. Empty tummy twirls blank your eyes, Then you fall down and faint. Still you rise just to find...

MOTHER'S DAY POEM My Metaphor states: a bouquet of love, a garden of care, Solemnly surrounds me with women beyond compare. My wife, a partner, a friend, a mother, and a guide, Nurtures with love and affectionate heart inside. Big sisters, supportive, wise, strong and so kind, Lead by example, with a good heart and sound mind. Younger sister, sweet and a...

You shirk the weight of parenthood's call, leaving your children to wither, unfed. Are you a father, or mere specter of one? A mother, or just a shadow that's gone? While others nurture, educate, and guide, you abandon your own to fate's tide. Your concern lies with outsiders, it seems, while your kin suffer, and your legacy beams. The children you forsook, the...

In the midst of striving with fate, Searching for dreams that debate, Here’s the reason not to be afraid, To try harder and not hesitate. They’re celebrating milestones in life, The smile on their face shines, like winning in light. With glittering eyes and curving lips so positive, The dreams they’ve drawn are now real, fulfilled. Crying isn’t always gloomy, It means another life...

Sitting on the lip of my bathtub, hunched over the edge, dripping and draped in terry cloth I cry out, "Oh God". I pray. More sincerely than I have since I lost my faith. I am certain someone is listening. I am certain of this because I need...

A poet gives birth to a poem, Just as a mother gives birth to a child. The child looks after its mother When it becomes grown; So, does a poem take care of its poet, When it becomes well-known....

A mother's heart, so full of grace, With endless love, she sets the pace. Though tired eyes may hide her pain, She gives her all, time and again. Through sleepless nights and weary days, She holds her child in tender ways. Her silent tears, the world won't see, Yet still, she smiles so selflessly. Her strength is quiet, yet so true, A love...
