A Poem at Long Last !!

Although I was never a fan of poems I always knew that writing poems was far far more difficult than prose. That’s possibly the reason why I never ventured into poetry (or prose for that matter) other than the odd ones for the school magazine. Anyways I decided to write one for my Mom this Mothers Day and surprisingly it came out to be decent. Posting it here. Please forgive if I made any mistakes with the poetry basics.



This is a story from the yore,
Heard so often, it will make you bore.
But with me you will have to bear,
This one-time you will have to hear.

I speak of a lady able and fair,
Black as the night was her hair.
She came from a land rich and tolerant
Pure of heart she was clever and confident.

In her life came a valiant knight,
Like her, he too was full of light.
The beauty wedded the brilliant knight,
And there future seemed plenteous and bright.

Life was like a fairy tale,
They were together, hearty and hale.
To them were born two tiny tots,
It was another gift from Gods.

But then fate played its dirty game,
Alas, the dark days came.
The knight had to leave for distant lands,
For, his destiny was not in his hands.

It was a challenge that would leave others in tatters,
But she stood up and faced it without jitters.
She held the kids close to her heart,
And gave them wings and made them smart.

All I can do in return is thank from my heart,
For the love she has showered right from the start.
This lady I talk of is my mother dear,
I’ll love her endlessly till my soul stays here.



Love you mom.
P.S. I Love Comments !!!!!!
