Whether it is in words or deeds,
A woman is a miracle and cure.
She breeds and feeds life with care,
When it forms and flows from womb to world.
Though, each and every journey begins with a fall,
And then a call- ‘Amma’.
Pain of fragile bones are healed by the divine touch,
Of her arms.
And she feeds by saying that ‘You have a long way to go,
And get the strength’.
That wasn’t just the food I consumed, it was her words,
Which helped me to stand on my feet and write these words.
Dear Alex,
The poem is really touching one. The mother takes a crucial role building up character and making hopes in a man. I see the “mother” is just an indicator in this stanza, “And she feeds by saying that You have a long way to go” is bitter experiences of a person to realize the realities of the world to go forwards with gaining strength. Best wishes
