The above poem is written in Tamil for my lovely Mom. I am translating the same for all my friends who don't understand the language.
You were my first Kiss
You were my first Poem
I give my daughter now
what you gave me once
Unconditional Love and affection
Mom, your everlasting love
is the light to my road
I ask you inane questions
even today at this age
and ...
you still answer them
clearing all my doubts
showing where I went wrong
Is this one single day enough
to write all about you ?
Uma,
ReplyDeleteA lovely poem which captures your thoughts well, in any language:)
I don't think that one is is ever enough to thank, or remember our mothers, but it is simply a day set aside to take stock and to specifically remember.

just lovely...and I like the last verse - nice ending. A very personal poem but one I'm sure many daughters can relate to on a very heartfelt level.
What a beautiful poem of Mother Love! It sounds like you have a special relationship with your mother, and I wonder if you showed her this poem. It would be a special gift to her, for sure.
