Straight from my heart...

To the best mother ever!! I wish I could be beside you right now, On such a memorable and joyous occasion, I feel so jealous and so helpless, Coz I can’t be a part of the celebration, For a long time, I thought of gifting you something, But as usual, I ran out of ideas, Mother, All I can give you is a short poem, just to tell you, You are special; I am incomplete without you here, I miss you more than you can imagine, I miss you much more than I’ll ever show, I miss you every moment, when I am alone, I miss you much more than you’ll ever know, Maybe I didn’t value you much when I was with you, I kept arguing with you at times, for no reason, But your absence has made my heart grow fonder, And I apologize to you, for all my faults, on this occasion, As I scan my life, backwards, Remembering countless moments of joy and sorrow, I see a constant figure in all those moments; that’s you, And without you, life at times, seems so hollow, I feel luckiest to have a mother like you, I mi...

A poem of remorse!! You must have obviously dreamt, Of giving birth to a child, Obedient, caring, adorable, Who will make your life memorable, You must have prayed for a child, Who will never hurt you, Who will care for you always, Who will be there with you always, But as I look at myself, at my life, I realize I have been a disgrace, A wild brat, whom none could tame, One who has always brought you shame, You must have had big dreams for me, But I faltered time and again, I misused your trust, your love, and freedom, As all I gave you was irritation and boredom, I hurt you a lot, I know, I have been the worst son, i am aware, Uncaring, selfish, utterly obstinate, But I repent all that I have done; I hope it’s not too late, Mom, I am sorry for all my past sins, For every single time that, I was rude to you, told you countless lies, And so often brought tears to your eyes, I know my sins are unpardonable, But someday I wish you would forgive me, My heart’s filled with remorse...

From your loving son!! You didn’t just give me birth, You have always strived to make my life worth, Your love was unconditional, unabated. Yet I never quite reciprocated, My daily puerile tantrums, Vexed you several times, Yet you never issued any moratoriums or ultimatums, And understood me perfectly, all such times,   Whatever I asked was promptly granted, Like a prince I was always treated, Yet you made sure I wasn’t prodigal, And never did anything unethical, You gave me wings to fly, Faster and higher than any bird, You loving son would never let you cry, To you, this is my so far unspoken word, However trivial your need may be, It will be promptly attended by me, I’ll rush for you, anytime, anywhere, Coz it’s you about whom I truly care………..

Never think of committing suicide!! Let the whole world, Form unhealthy opinions about you, But always remember, I love you, And you have a right to be a free bird, The world may call you a failure, But you are the best, remember, And one day they’ll realize their mistake, So never put your life at stake, To me, you are a precious pearl, So today you must promise me, That you’ll be with me, Forever and always, my little girl, Life will incessantly test you, You have to ignore and just be you, Life will give you sorrows, But remember, it’ll also show beautiful rainbows, I am always going to be there, Silently supporting you, by your side, Anytime, anywhere, So never think of committing suicide, Life is a gift worth taking, So never throw it away, Coz your dreams will come true someday, You just have to keep believing, A wise man had once said, Life is just a garden or a bed, Of beautiful roses, but with many a thorn, So never think about the things lo...

My mother’s lap!! My mind so often drifts, To all those wonderful times, When on my mother’s lap, Daily I had long naps, I peacefully slept in her arms, Smitten by her charm, She meant the world to me, And she created for me, a dream world to see, She recited a variety of tales, About august kings and their palaces, I would be so awed, I remember, And I’ll plead for a story another, But all I did was hurt her, By crying and grumbling forever, Whole night she then held me close, To prevent me from being morose, I was so mean to her, I was nothing but a weed, Yet she tolerated me, gave me shelter, Her lap was heaven, indeed, My mother’s love was unconditional, To her, I was truly special, Alas, I didn’t reciprocate, And throughout her life, I made her wait, Years passed by, I just drifted apart from her, She kept waiting for my love forever, And one day, in her sleep, she died, Now I wish I c...

Promise!! The poem describes all the principles that a mother wants her child to follow and the promises that she wants her child to keep Right from childhood, You are given, Just one advice Come what may, Never break any damn promise. But you keep repeating the same mistakes, Time and again, As your mother’s words go in vain, Yet again Promise you will never follow the path of violence, And will you always maintain dignity and silence Whenever others entice you to fight, Promise me you will never showcase your might. Promise you will always complete your tasks on time, Coz a stitch in time saves nine Promise you will always be regular and methodical, And never will you do anything shameful and disgraceful Promise that you will always be ready, To help the poor and the needy, And never will you be selfish or greedy. Promise you will treat everyone as equal, And never will you hurt a human or animal Promise me you will never accept things from a stranger, And promise me you’ll stick on ...

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid...
