The mother in me
Happy and grateful of having had the perfect mum
But sad at the same time
For no one will say as well for me
Nor call me by natures name
Yes, childless I am
Lucky all say I am ;though I believe not
The mother in me
Is atrocious at times
To a point of insanity
Maybe that being why
I have come to remain childless
Overprotective and controlling
I may have become
From fear of losing something so precious and divine
The mother in me
A child is a bond between two loved ones
Which will unite them to eternity
Even if should they chose to part
An added contribution of love it is
For think they not when the nest is open
And fly away it may seem
As they will be back with offspring
Ecstatic their mum will be
The mother in me
How , Oh how I wish someone would
Call me mummy,mama,or mother
Natures name in the making
Not because a childless woman gives off
An incomplete nature to all observers
As the craving to mothering is strong and strenuous
And pretense is easily seen
The mother in me
Tried all I could
But to no avail
To hear little footsteps
Running and giggling away
Dreams and wishes are just that
But reality is a different showcase
Which I have to face and hopefully accept
I love this quote from Khalil Gibran
"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams."
To all mothers I wish a Blessed Happy Mother's Day,and to myself and other childless souls I hope the best is yet to come !
wen i was reading some poems about mum , i found this poem , i like with itz simple words:
ReplyDeleteTo My Mum
If I could choose someone to be my friend I’d choose you
And haven’t I been doubly blessed that you’re my mother too!
When the world seems too much to bear
And I need someone to lighten my load
You always see some goodness or way out, no matter what the road
You offer me the best advice and a sympathetic ear
You’re practical and comforting that’s why I hold you dear
You’re the first one with the tissues
First one with champagne
I hope you’ll never ever change
And always stay the same
I haven’t been the best of daughters
I haven’t always done as you taught us
But you gave me the freedom to learn from my mistakes
And I had the chance to turn around just before it was too late
I just want to finish with a very special prayer
I hope love and happiness will be with you everywhere.
thanksssss
A very touching poem.Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThink about adopting for real-there are many children who'd love to have you for their mother,as they've never known a mothers love.
You'll do great!
There will better times dear INSHAALLAH -just you wait and see and I wish you all the best in whatever decision you may take.
May Allah bless you always.
