Hello dear friends,

I hope this Blog finds you in a cheerful mood.

In life, one person stands out—my mother.
She represents love, resilience, and guidance. As I think about the prompt, “Describe a person who has positively impacted your life,” her influence comes to the forefront of my mind.

Mothers, often the unsung heroes in the background of our lives, possess a quiet yet extraordinary power: they shape destinies even in the face of hardship, scarcity, and adversity.

This blog is my humble homage to my mother—a woman of strength and wisdom whose impact continues to guide me beyond time and space.

Her Presence Beyond Life Itself

In the quiet recesses of my dreams, my mother often appears with an ethereal tenderness.

Though the world calls her “departed,” I have never felt her absence. Her warmth, her ideals, and her love continue to follow me like a soft shadow—unseen yet deeply felt.

Despite the physical distance between this world and the next, her influence remains unshaken.

I often find myself aligning my decisions with the echoes of her wisdom, feeling her hand steadying mine even now.

The Architect of a Home Born from Hardship

A remarkable gift mothers possess is the ability to create a home from almost nothing. My mother, faced with minimal education and the heavy burden of early widowhood, could easily have collapsed under the weight of circumstance.

But she did not.

She turned every challenge into a stepping stone, transforming scarcity into opportunity.

Her perseverance became the foundation upon which our family stood tall. Her resilience remains a testament to the extraordinary strength inherent in motherhood.

Wisdom That Walks With Me

As life unfolds in unpredictable ways, her voice—soft yet firm—continues to guide me.

Though she is not here in the physical world, her essence lives in my decisions, my strength, and even in the way I face adversity. I hold her name high like a lantern in life’s storms, a guiding light from the celestial heights.

• Her courage inspires mine.
• Her sacrifices fuel my own determination.
• Who I am today is inseparable from the shape her hands gave my character.

A Tribute in Verse

Because sometimes poetry conveys what the heart cannot say plainly.
A mother’s love doesn’t end—it simply changes form. This is my heartfelt tribute to the woman who shaped my soul.

Oh, My Dear Mother

You visit me in dreams each night,
Your gentle touch, a soothing light.
On my chest, scars of battles fought,
Yet your smile, a remedy, as peace is sought.

Painful marks etched upon my skin,
I strive to erase, the battle to win.
Your laughter and courage, a fleeting grace,
In those moments, I find embrace.

Respect, fame—everything I gained,
Still, solitude echoes, soft yet pained.
Your absence, a constant silent ache,
Yet your blessings, a refuge to take.

Sometimes life withholds its glee,
Laughter and play seem far from me.
But with your blessing, I resurrect,
My hopes rekindled, my spirit erect.

A shadow of loneliness clouds my way,
Yet with your blessing, I face each day.
For in your wisdom, life finds its song,
Oh, my mother, in dreams you belong.

So, in these verses, a tribute I pay,
To a mother who guides me far away.
With every word, a prayer I say—
Oh, my dear mother, in dreams you stay.
(Vijay Verma)

An Eternal Bond

This journey through memory and verse is more than a reflection—it is a testament to a love that cannot be dimmed by time or distance.

My mother was not just a parent; she was my compass, my guide, and the source of my resilience.

A hundred bows symbolize not a ritual, but a deeply felt gratitude—an acknowledgement of the eternal bond we share.

• Her strength shaped my path.
• Her love shaped my soul.
• And her memory continues to shape my tomorrow.
