My Mother My Guiding Light-Poems

Nithya Venkat enjoys writing about nature and different aspects of life in the form of poetic verses.

This is a poem that I wrote for my mother. Words cannot express how much I love my mother, but still, I have tried to write a poem from my heart.

My dear mother,

I do not find the words, I fear

To express all that is deep within my heart

I LOVE YOU, Mother

More than these words can express

You held my hand

You showed me the way

To stand up and fight and not run away

When I was deep in trouble

You were always there

You held my hand, guided me

You showed me you care

You embraced me

With unconditional love

Your words of wisdom and inspiration

Kept me going on the right path

My path to my destination

Without you mom

I would be lost and alone

Not knowing which way to go

Which way to turn

I love you, mom

It is all because of you

I am here where I am

Having succeeded too

I can never repay

By words or deeds

The kindness and love

You have always given me

Mother

I love you

Mother - An Acrostic Poem

My friend philosopher guide

Ocean of unconditional love

Tender loving and kind

Heavenly angel blessed

Ever ready to help and support

Reassuring presence always

With You Mother

When the day was bright

We had fun we played

In the dark of the night

You chased monsters away

We saw the moon

The twinkling stars

We played in the sand

We chased butterflies

In our own world

We fought with great might

Won over lost kingdoms

With the spirit of the knights

We had courage

We had strength

To stand upright

Never give up

Without a fight

With you mother

Everything was bright

The sky always blue

The grass always green

The rain always gentle

The wind a refreshing dream

Mother

You gave me hope

You were always there by my side

And even today

You cheer me on

I know I can count on you

When I am lost and forlorn

Mother

You are my guiding light
