Elixir of my Heart

#poem #mother

Your always smiling face

Is such full of grace

Your fine wrinkles, which have started to appear

They are the telltales of what all you have had to bear

Your better half closed his eyes forever

The most dreadful nightmare you could think of ever

How you got that courage to bring him from miles apart

Just so others can see him off you did your part

I always gather enough strength to ask how you did this

But may be, with him being here, is your actual bliss

You strongly stood like a tall tree

And fulfilled our wishes for free

Two decades gone,

You are living it all alone

Be it us with you or your kith and kin

This incessant void must have hurt you like a piercing pin

Two of us from your nest are away in distant land

How I wish to fly to you with the magic of a wand

Your existence is the soul of our lives

For us to be buoyant, you are the biggest drive

You are the Sun of our little universe

In your brightness and shine, we immerse

Wake up to see your ever smiling face

Which is such full of grace

Sure at dusk, you do set

But with illumination and hope you again arise

And under your feet is our paradise.

P. S.

Thought to post this on mother’s day but to tell you, am going on a vacation (back home to India) for a month, so would be taking a break from WordPress, so sharing the poem today in advance.

Will miss you all so much especially some of you very much to be honest, just hope to return back safe and meeting you all again.

May God keep all of you safe, healthy and happy. Take care, Bye until we meet again.

Thank you so very much for your time for reading and going through my posts 😊.
