The Heart of a Mother (Poem)

— Kalyan Kumar Dutta,
VKV Kharsang.

Mother means compassion a tender healing touch
Mother means power, strength that means so much.
Mother means a shadow, where safety always lies
Mother means true love seen in caring eyes.

Mother means all hope a beacon in the night
Mother is the second oxygen, filling life with light.
Mother means selfless love, a heart forever pure
A bond unbreakable, a love that will endure.

She holds you in her arms with whispers soft and sweet
Guiding with her wisdom, her care is a retreat.
Her laughter is a melody, her smile a warming ray
Her love is like the sunrise beginning every day.

In moments of despair her strength will pull you through
Her voice, a soothing song, that’s always there for you.
With every gentle kiss, and every tender care,
She wraps you in her love no matter when or where.

She sacrifices daily, her needs she puts aside,
Her heart, an endless ocean of love that won’t subside.
She teaches and she nurtures, she gives without a cost,
A guardian, a friend in her, you’re never lost.

Mother means compassion, a love that’s always near,
Mother means forever, a soul that holds you dear.
In every beat of life, her essence will remain,
The heart of a mother, a love that never wanes.
