Nothing like the love of a mother!

Nothing like the love of a mother!

For nine months they carry an extra load,
To work, to the toilet, to bed,
With all the sickness it comes with,
Never complaining, only enduring,
Focused on the glee of that day,
When the life God incubates in them,
Transitions to earth,

Then with a very excruciating birth pang,
And all the strength and grace God can give,
They push in birth the life they nursed in them,
May even cry in the process,
Before the baby cries,
In that first drink of earthly air,
As evidence of new life,

Yet after birth motherhood has still only begun,
It is more the raising and upbringing than the birth,
More tiring days and sleepless nights set in,
Painful adjustments to accomodate this new call,
A woman's noblest call,
A call to rock the cradle,
And as she rocks the cradle she rocks the world,
The mothers shape the future of the world,

With every life in them they love,
They nourish and care, fiercely protect,
They nurse and hang in there,
Through the bitterest storms,
They stay in there to savor,
And share our best accomplishments,
Yes, there is nothing, nothing in the whole wide world,
Like the love of a good mother,
She may not have a biological child of her own,
Yet a mother to one and all,

That is why even in the evening of my life,
At a ripe old age,
I will still be mama's baby,
I celebrate you mom,
And if you know a mama like mine,
Pomp a fist of celebration in the air,
Find the time, make the time,
Tell and show mom you appreciate her love,

You rock mom, you rock,
You are better and stronger than a rock,
Yet soft like a drifting fog,
There is nothing like a good mother's love.

Mount Letch!

Mount Letch

Who is this poor girl,
Acting surrogate on the altar of deceit,
On the summit of mount Letch,
Getting laid in someone's stead,
A vicarious love making,
Through the body of another.

How many options does a man have,
When the love of his life,
Is thousands of miles across the oceans,
In a far and distant land... ?
Million dollar question which begs an answer,
To do or not to do?
He yielded to the weaker part of him,
He chose to be a letch :(
How sad,
How very sad!

What if!

What if!

What if there was a camera on you,
Wired to earth,
Projected on the giant screen of the bright skies of the world,
Live images of all your activities and thoughts,
Would you still do them?,
Would you still think them?,
If not, then don't do it!

Greed!

Greed!

Arrrh greed,
Macadam to the place of ultimate destruction,
With an allure of satisfaction,
As fake as the wig on a bald head!

Mighty wave...

Mighty Wave...

A mighty wave of the emptiest vanity,
Sweeps across the world,
Unless you stand firm,
It will sweep you off your feet,
Help me God...

The storm is raging!

The storm is raging

Beyond taming and beyond reach, the storm is soaring;

With nature’s loudest voice , the storm is roaring;

Caught in one of nature’s cruelest mimes;

Almost losing my mind;

As life teaches its best lesson yet;

In the process transforming a mindset;

A lesson of beauty and of pain;

A lesson about the price of gain;

That the thorns take away nothing from the beauty of a rose;

The rise from a planted naked stalk to beautiful, enchanting, charming rose;

That some of the most astounding petals of beauty sit on stalks of thorns ;

And every natural rose bush comes with thorns;

That those who refuse to brave the thorns;

May settle for petals of the flowers of corn;

That redemption's greatest possibility ;

Lies in the eye of the greatest storms;

That even the finest eye of faith;

Cannot see beyond the storm;

But it can trust, trust, trust;

An all loving, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God;

Beyond the raging storm and more.
