A Mothers Presence

Posted under Random by Radiant Light

Assalamualaykum;
I recently just found this poem again, I wrote it when I was in Secondary school (HS).

You are a child;
Maybe only a few months old;
One day you cannot feel the presence of your mother anymore.
Nor can you hear her soothing voice or the comfort of her arms.

You are taken into the arms of a stranger;
A stranger of whom you have no idea:
All you long and cry for are your mothers arms:
The arms full of solace and comfort;
All you want is a mothers presence.

You grow up in the house of stranger;
Try as you may, but never truly fitting in;
The days go by, slowly one after the other,
But all you long for are the arms and the presence of a mother.

You grow older and travel through life,
Passing people day in day out,
But all you long for is the presence of a mother.

Tears roll down your cheeks at graduation;
At your marriage;
At the birth of your first child;
Wishing only one thing;
For the presence of a mother, to share her blessing.

As without a mothers presence life is never whole.
A Big part seems to always be amiss.
The longing for the comfort a mother brings.

M’assalam
