on your wrinkled face
marched the unending love
on your fragile bones
engraved the countless sacrifices
through your breath
blew the unceasing prayers
just for me
mom….., for you
a world-wide of thank you
would never be enough

A very lovely psalm of love to awaken to…your love shines radiantly through your voice that lives in your selfless adoring words. I love the poem immensely. It is a great reflection of your heart Mei. God bless my sister!
and my dear brother, Amen.

So eloquently said!!! You always hope your children feel this way about you as a parent.
I think not just me …, certainly mothers expected the best from and for their children.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
All best,

very very nice to experience this poem.
O… I am so glad you like it and thank you so much for the comment and retweet it.

How effortlessly and eloquently your few words have touched the heart, Mei. Indeed our lives are blessed by that one “unceasing prayer”… We as daughters are borne only once, but a mother is borne through us every time she gives birth — most of the times into more hardships — yet, enduring any pain and turning each sigh into a life-long lullaby for us.
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us — a mirror to see our own faces in!
May Allah always keep your compassionate soul as beautiful.
Much Love.
Aamiin. I agree and thank you so much for your kindly words.
Much love,

Nice poem, Ibu Meiro. 🙂
The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word ‘mother’ and the most beautiful call is the call of ‘my mother’ -Kahlil Gibran
It’s a lovely quote isn’t it?

Take care.

If not for those who came before, who lived only for us, then we wouldn’t be…
Now it is our turn to live for ours…
Having been a father for more than a quarter of a century, I get every word. Having been a husband for just as long, I know there is a bond between mother and child that I will never get.
Great stuff
Glad to hear from you, thank you my friend.
All best,

Oh Mei – This is so beautiful.
Thanks a lot dear Rosy.
