on May 11, 2025

Motherhood is something that transcends expression, that touches one's soul, nurtures growth, and offers an unshakeable anchor in the ever-changing tide of life. Every mother, in her own unique way, shapes the world of her children. This Mother’s Day, we in the May edition of Frontlist e-magazine celebrate this extraordinary bond by featuring poems that capture the essence of motherhood — its sacrifices, its joys, and its unparalleled love.

Through the art of verse, these poems transcend the ordinary and offer an emotional journey into the heart of motherhood. Let us take you through these lovely expressions of a mother's love, strength, and beauty.

1. Mother by Tanushi Singh: A Love That Knows No Bounds

Tanushi Singh’s poem opens with a profound truth: "Knew you before I was born." The connection between mother and child is timeless, unspoken, and innate. In this poem, Tanushi celebrates a mother’s sacrifice and unwavering strength, casting her as the heart of the family, the source of endless love and support.

Excerpt:

"You are my world my sky my ground,

I wear you as my freedom my sanity my crown."

The verse beautifully reflects how a mother’s love doesn’t just shape a child’s life — it grounds them, empowers them, and makes them brave enough to face the world.

2. You are the Most Beautiful Woman in the World by Afsana Badar: The Light in the Darkness

Afsana Badar's poem is a beautiful description of a mother as the beacon of hope in the darkest moments. A mother is not just a caregiver but a source of solace, strength, and healing too. Her love lights up the path even when life seems burdensome and unclear.

Excerpt:

"But you are the air that I breathe,

Your face, your touch, your smell, your melody."

Afsana's words joyfully hail the way a mother's presence is so ingrained within us that it leaves an eternal memory, a whispered reassurance of doubt. She is the air we inhale, and her love is the pulse of our lives.

3. Maa by Indrani Chowdhury: The Pillar of Strength

Indrani Chowdhury's Maa describes the unshakeable determination of mothers who are pillars of strength in the midst of life's turmoil. The poem wonderfully describes a mother as a dream guardian, a shield against troubles, and a repository of unflinching love.

Excerpt:

"She stood for us as a great wall of defense,

Passed acid tests of perseverance,

Shielding us from darkness of all kinds with all her might."

The words echo how a mother’s sacrifices and resilience guide her children through life’s most challenging moments. In her embrace, we find hope and the strength to overcome anything.

4. माँ by Vipul Kulshreshtha: A Tribute in Every Word

Vipul Kulshreshtha's poem माँ is a ride down childhood memories — lessons imparted, love bestowed, and the constant assurance of the guiding hand of a mother. His words express the immense influence a mother exerts on the life of a child, with a strong message of love that cuts across all boundaries.

Excerpt:

"राह में जब भी ठोकर खाई,

मातृ ह्रदय से यही आवाज आई

बेटा तू चलाचल तेरे सर पर मेरा हाथ है."

Vipul's poem brings to mind the warmth and protection a mother's touch offers, even in times of uncertainty. His voice is reassuring, encouraging us to move forward, no matter what.

Conclusion: A Mother’s Love, A Lifelong Gift

These poems are not just words — they are windows into the heart of what it means to be a mother. They remind us that a mother’s love is timeless, selfless, and unconditional. Her strength, her warmth, her sacrifices — they form us in ways that words can hardly express.
