POETS’ CORNER: Yours lovingly...
Mothers are like queens in the world
Under their feet paradise is held
She loves her family very much
Her skin has a dove’s touch
She is the role model for her offspring
Her aim is to rightfully up-bring
For her loved ones she’ll do anything
She bonds with her children like a string
Mothers are the symbol of love and care
O God, please answer my prayer,
Keep my mother strong
And protect her from the wrong
Without her my life would be incomplete
Like her no one I could meet
I hope she’ll stay with me forever
I just want to say “I love you mother”.

My every smile is your relief,
Love you, Mom.
There was no one, when you were with me.
There is everyone now, and you are with me.
Love you, Mom.
You taught me rightness,
You made me learned.
Love you, Mom.
You dressed my sores,
You reduced my pain.
Love you, Mom.
I was right sometimes, many times I was queer.
You guided me rather than insult me.
Love you, Mom.
I have been both wise and fool,
On the path of life,
Love you, Mom.
You made me lost in the tales,
Grew up listening tales, I became a storyteller myself.
Love you, Mom.
I astonished you, I irritated you,
I argued and I fought with you, but
Love you, Mom.
My words aren’t enough to show the gratitude,
You love me a lot, And I,
Love you too, Mom.

I love my mother
And no other
She is the one
Like the beautiful sun
I love to be with her
Her laughter echo in my mind
She is as precious
Like the sun, moon and stars
I want her to be happy
Even when she’s angry
She is the best mother ever!
I would forget her, never!
She’s like the spring
Always blooming and flowering
Spreading her fragrance
Where ever she goes
She’s my fairy
Who bides me to sleep
And with the flick of her magic wand
She cheers me up like a happy song
She is Allah’s gift
Whom I’ll forever cherish
She’s an angel from heaven
Who, will forever flourish

How much I love you, I can’t say
It’s more than words can hold.
You’re all at once my rich, red clay,
My potter and my mould.
Your’s the words that shaped my voice,
The spirit within mine.
Your’s the will that shaped my choice,
My fortune, and my sign.
How lucky I was to have had you
At the core of me!
Wise and good, you always knew
Just what I could be.
And so I came to be someone
Whom I could be proud of.
For this I give my swollen sum
Of gratitude and love.
Happy Mother’s Day with Love,

Hapy Mother’s Day
That is what I say,
To all the mothers,
On behalf of others,
Mothers are so precious!
They cook food for us that is so delicious!
Mothers are so polite,
They are our only rays of light!
And thus at the end, I would like to add,
Please don’t make them mad!

My mom is loving
My mom is caring.
My mom is also very friendly.
She looks after me very kindly.
She is a very precious gift of God,
For which I am very thankful to my Lord.
She has brown eyes,
Which make her very wise.
She is my queen,
As her favourite colour is green.
My mom has black hair.
She always cares,
And consoles me when I have nightmares.
She is very smart,
And very close to my heart.
She also makes me blackberry tart.
She sacrifices a lot for me,
And also knows what is best for me.
She is like a fur,
I am nothing without her.
My mom is like an angel,
Who is very pretty from every angle.
She is a symbol of love,
Like a flying dove.
She cooks yummy food,
And is always in a good mood.
She likes to see my glories,
And also tells me the stories.
She wants to make me a brave girl,
So that I can fight my enemies in turn.
My mother is the best.
She is apart from the rest.
No matter how much, one has grace,
No one can take her place.
Oh God! Keep my mother alive,
And give my life to her, for it will be my pride.

The one who always open her heart for us
In whose land one is always secure
Oh Mother! You are dear for all of us.
Mother the one who accepts slavery for our sake.
The one who if goes far always keeps,
Her thought and eyes on us.
In whose lap one is always comforted.
Oh Mother! You are dear for all of us.
Mother is the one who nourishes our optimism.
The one who don’t less erudite,
Always tells us to be firm and steady.
In whose kingdom every child is a Prince.
Oh Mother! You are dear for all of us.
Best gift of nature should be exaggerated with respect.
Mother who cares…

She lives a joyful life.
She is very smart,
But never tries out my tarts.
When she is in a good mood,
She cooks me delicious food.
She is very tall,
And likes to clean the walls.
I love my mother,
Because she has given me such love!

Symbol of love
Symbol of care
She brought us up
And gave a lot of hugs
Mother is like a flower
She never loses power
Mother is pleasant surprise
Just like sunrise
She give us food
In every mood
She helps us in studies
And makes us ready
Remember! She is mother and our true friend
The praise of mother never ends.

Mothers are like flowers
They give us blessings like shower
They take care of us
But we make a fuss
We say we want this
But they say shhh...
They say you are a child
And confiscate our mobiles
They take big decisions
And want our positions
My mother is very nice
I wish she lives long life.

My mother is tall
And she likes to wear a shawl
She is very smart
And she likes to wear kurta shalwar
She has a very keen mind
And she doesn’t like to waste time
She is like an angel
And she love to wear colourful bangles
She is polite
So she hates to fight
She is sweet
And she likes to eat sweets
I adore her
Because she is like no other.

Caring for me
Shedding tears for me,
She’s the one always honest to me.
Guiding me in every walk of life,
Saving me from every sharp knife,
She’s the one who brings order in my life.
Sweeter than berry,
Looks like a fairy,
She’s the one always there when necessary.
Oh lord! You are wise,
You can give me all things that are nice,
Please never take my mother away,
She’s the one without whom
I cannot find the right way.

My sweet mother
You fulfil my desires
You took me so high
You mould my spirit
You built my character
You never let me become sad
You always make me happy and glad
Mother! Mother!
My sweet mother
You help me in everything
You show me how to face life’s obstacles
You gave me everything
You never let me feel lonely
You are the greatest mother in the world
May God give you along life.
Mother! Mother!
My sweet mother.

My mother is like light
Because she is bright
She is very nice
But hates mice
She makes my favourite chocolate cake
And sits near by the lake
She like's to climbs on mountain
And she love's to see fountains
She loves to make things of blocks
And loves to see small rocks
She is very cool
And loves to make every one fool.
