Mother’s Day Remembrance Poems – by Charmaine Candappa Our mothers live deep inside us. No matter how old we get, we are always daughters of our mothers.  I have these collective memories of being the daughter of my mom. These are two  memory accounts that are embedded in my heart, that I wish to share on this Mother’s Day. Patchwork Quilt – by Charmaine Candappa My mother made me a patchwork quilt With odd remnant fabric, stitched together To keep me warm. I trace the threads of those memories of mother Sitting quietly as she sewed Each piece has her heart print Each heart print is a memory Wrapped warmly around me. My Mother’s Almirah – by Charmaine Candappa My dresses hang side by side inside my mother’s almirah I climb the shelves at the age of six Touching the clothes that smelled of strong camphor My dressers, mother’s sari blouses, and handbags Hang on brass hooks inside.

Happy Mother’s Day – By Noor Rahim   Always remember your Mother in every loving way Not just on “Mother’s Day”; but on every day of the year For she who conceived you and carried you all the way Enabling you, to one day, see the light of the day   She did continue tending to your needs, as is the way Of all Mothers; with such loving and tender care  Teaching you and guiding you in all life’s ways Until it is time for you to fend for yourself in the worldly ways   Mother’s Day is commercialized, no doubt, one can say But like inaugurating a New Year with gusto and sway Let’s use “Mother’s Day” to kindle our love for our Mothers in every way And continue this lifelong love, for the one who brought us to life, to forever stay   Noor Rahim 2nd May 2019 ...

AN INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR THE MONTH OF MAY 2022 (MOTHER’S DAY) – by Charles Schokman “If you follow the greatest men of God back to their beginnings, you will often find a mother kneeling to pray.” “Mary quietly treasured these things in her heart.”     Luke 2:19 TLB ‘Some things only a mum can do… like powdering a baby’s bottom with one hand while holding the phone with the other… Spending the day wiping noses, laundering socks, balancing a cheque book, and still mean it when she thanks God for her kids. Some things only a mum can fix… like the cabinet doors her husband couldn’t, and his bruised ego when he found out she could! Broken shoelaces… broken hearts… breaking up with your sweetheart. Some things only a mum can know… like how long it takes to drive from piano lessons to football practice… how many pizzas you need for a sleepover… the number ...
