My Mother ❤️ Your Mother ❤️ Our Mother

a poem... a tribute...

By Muhammad AbdullahPublished 6 months ago 3 min read

She walks with grace,

no crown she wears,

yet queens could kneel—

Before her stare,

Her hands are worn—

from work and care,

but miracles........

still blossom there.

Each wrinkle on her noble face

is carved by storms—

she calmly passed,

And in her eyes,

the stars of time...

reflect a love—

too vast, too vast.

**

She teaches not with harsh commands,

but with a whisper,

which is soft and wise,

She shows the world

through her gentle hands,

through lullabies and quiet sighs.

She plants in hearts—

the seeds of good,

of patience, hope,

and tender light,

And watches as they bloom

and grow into great trees

that reach the highest height.

**

She speaks in parables of old,

in tales where meaning softly lies,

A broken plate, a fallen child—

each holds a truth we recognize.

She never boasts of

what she knows,

but somehow always knows the way,

Her silence breaks

with perfect words

that guide us back

when we betray.

**

**

When tempests rise and voices clash,

and youthful pride begins to burn,

She stands as calm as ancient hills

and waits for wisdom to return.

Her presence is a quiet song,

that plays when all the world is loud,

A song of peace, of mother’s love,

that parts the fiercest thundercloud.

**

She sees our flaws and loves them too,

not for their shape but for their fight,

She nurtures every battle scar

and turns our failures into light.

She knows that pain will come and go,

and often lets it teach its part,

For though she’d die to spare our tears,

she knows truth blossoms through the heart.

**

She taught us how to greet the dawn

—with gratitude in every breath,

To face the dusk with steady steps

—and honor even silent death.

She taught us how to kneel in prayer

not just for gain, but for the soul,

To give, forgive, and gently hold

each shattered dream until it’s whole.

**

She guards the hearth, the sacred flame,

with ancient strength and tender fire,

And speaks the names of those she loves

like they were hymns sung by a choir.

She taught us courage isn’t noise,

but choosing grace where wrath could be,

She taught that power lies in love,

not in the need to dominate or flee.

**

When we were lost in worlds of doubt,

she stitched her words into our skin—

You are enough,” she said with ease,

and truth began to rise within.

She read the sky like holy verse,

and knew the weather of the soul,

She knew when hearts would turn to stone,

and when they only needed role.

**

She wept when we were far away,

not from fear, but from pure love,

And in her tears were stars and prayers

that rose like incense up above.

She gave us dreams, not made of gold,

but of the strength to stand and serve,

To build a world with honest hands

and live a life the just deserve.

**

She’s not a saint—they made mistakes,

her human heart would ache and break—

But every fall she turned to light,

each wrong she’d turn into awake.

She showed that strength is found in tears,

and courage born from soft goodbyes,

That healing often takes a wound

before the phoenix ever flies.

**

She never asked the world to kneel,

nor begged the stars to spell her name,

She built her legacy in hearts

where no one else would stake their claim.

She gave, and gave, and still gives more,

though nothing asked, no payment due,

She is the root of all we are,

the soil that makes the soul renew.

**

And now we walk with heads held high

—because she taught us how to see,

That wisdom lies in humble things

—in bread, in pain, in memory.

That love must live in daily deeds,

not only in poetic lines,

And that the heart must learn to break

before it truly, truly shines.

**

**

O Mother, My Mother—your Mother, whose voice remains

though time and death may steal your tone,

O Mother, you live in every truth we speak,

in every kindness we have sown.

Your words are stitched into our blood,

your wisdom echoes when we fall,

You are the rhythm of our steps,

the pulse, the breath, the heart of all.

**
