Analysis of Mothers Day - Poem to Honour You
Mothers Day - Poem to Honour You
By Arman Hoque
This is a poem to honour you today;
Though thoughts wonder if you’re truly gone or just out to play…
This is fate and this is the way;
Fate has played its cards to stay.
This is a poem to express what you taught me;
Even when we embraced and even when you fought me.
You have your guiding wisdom; I’ll know for the rest of my life…
Beloved partner, mother and wife.
You’ve gone and somehow I remain
Like after a spill there’s caused a stain.
Though the spill could in fact be a sprain,
And the stain is in fact in my brain.
I try to make sense, why do I strain?
When all it causes is a reminder of pain?
Because you’ve found my heart again.
When all else is told,
You’re forever gone and I grew old.
You seized life- forever hold.
I was left here in the cold.
