“The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.” <br /> <br />The above is reversed in many cases <br /> <br />This was written after trying to meet Mata Amrithanandhamayee at Nerul <br /> <br /> <br />Love of my heart needed you <br />Committing myself without guarantee <br />Trials too heavy and sudden <br />Adversity taking over prosperity <br />When troubles thicken around me <br />I need you to cling upon <br />To get your counsel and dissipate darkness clouds <br />And to return peace to the shattered heart! <br /> <br />Children are anchors <br />To hold a mother to her life! <br />Reverse is the case in my life <br />Producing no love in the heart of my beloved <br />Doors kept open along with windows throwing light <br />To make your entry an easy affair <br />You can’t be alone in your thoughts so great <br />Hope you understand what I can’t say! <br /> <br />Mother’s love is patient and forgiving <br />Never failing or faltering <br />General rule a century back <br />Your children’s love waiting forever <br />Hidden behind the coupons and sentries ruling thy roost <br />Sitting beyond the reach of the rustic <br />Prayer and preaching, embellishing your palace, <br />Peasants are pining at a stone throw away! <br /> <br />2.3.2008<br /><br />rajagopal haran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-child-is-lost-in-the-odyssey/
