I’m a blind witness
To all you have gone through
Each dawn greeted with gladness
Each dusk brought a handful of sacrifices.
You will always be
The tireless and dependable nanny
Often I’ve seen you got angry
But flashed a smile whenever you hear, “Sorry, Mommy”.
I sometimes cried
Seeing your sad flight
Your old body aching and tired
Only a lil’ prayer I can say each night.
But Mom, please slow down
You have done us a lot
Sharing a hand to everyone
Forgetting, you too have a life to think about.
So, on this very special day
I say “ I Love You”
You have guided us in our way
And I’m so very grateful to have you.
If you say any about Mom, relate na agad ako, i felt and knew how hard they've gone through to care for their children :)
ReplyDeleteThis poem is apt to the upcoming Mother's Day! We just don't say "I love you" on this day but every day.
ReplyDeleteWow! You're one sweet son! Hope my son could also be inspired enough like you to write me a poem :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet poem, perfect for Mothers day.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet :)) Happy Mothers day po !
ReplyDeleteOh my so heart-warming. I'm reading the poem with a lump in my throat.
ReplyDeleteits hard for me to say ilove you sa nanay ko .. pero tuwing umuuwi ako , nagkikiss na ako sa cheek nia ... dun ko lng kaya ipakita love ko sa kanya .. hindi rin ako makahindi sa request nia .. pag sinabi niang kelangan nia ng pera ,,, kahit wala ako ,, nagawa ako ng paraan para makapagpadala sa kanya .. love na love ko kasi cia because of the sacrifices na ginawa nia para sa akin at sa mga kapatid ..
ReplyDeleteMissing my Mom too, she left us and join with God in February 14, 1994. My father joined with her too exactly May 8 1995.

ReplyDeletethis poem reminds me so much of the sacrifices of my mom, sacrifices that only a heart that loves unconditionally could do, that is why we see her smile with a simple "sorry, mommy". this is a very lovely poem, Donald.

ReplyDeleteOur mom is the greatest treasure we ever have. That's why I'm studying very hard to help her out from the life of a poverty.
ReplyDeletethis is a great tribute to a mom... something that acknowledges her for all the things she had done for the family. Yahweh bless.
ReplyDeleteWe only celebrate Mother's Day once a year, thanking our mothers for all the love and support they give us. This is really a meaningful Mother's Day gift.
