My Poem

By Resmi Radhakrishnan

Got the theme for

The poetry competition

In the early morning-

“Motherly love”

Gone for a long time

To the bottom

Of the consultation

And

Wandered like a lost child.

What to write? How to write?

A journey in search of words …

What should I write?

About that ocean called-

“MOTHER”

All events and incidents

Moments and memories,

Of these whole 20 years..

One page won’t be enough!.

That ocean ….

Innovative as you know it

With a lot of surprises in deep

I’ve no words to write it.

But a reminder-

A lot like the ocean,

Treasures and goodness

Hiding in your mother.

Like the ocean,

Infinite and unconditional

Love of your mother’s …

So,

“Know your mother,

Feel the love of your mother’s”

N.B – When you have sight,

You never realize the value of your eyes.

After writing this,

It felt like a lot,

Then I,

Got ready to send back

My poetess to the world

Of loneliness and silence.

“She said goodbye then promised,

Will come for next competition.

While me-

Went to know more about –

MY MOTHER!”
