Earliest image of a person
Amma Amme first words spoken
Seeking warm comfort
Sleeping with no effort
Fed groomed and cared
From childhood to manhood reared
Firm with wayward ways
With love and warmth always
An anchor to us all
Against onslaughts calmness as a wall
Unfazed committed untiring
Unwavering in moments trying
Humble and simple in life
Obedient steadfast wife
Hardships taken in stride
Life always faced with pride
A mother`s love knows no bounds
Sustained in binding bonds
Kindness to one and all
Looked up to always standing tall
A home always a haven
Filial bonds never broken
In moments of distress sadness
Giving compassion and kindness
Caring in illness and health
Love kindness her greatest strength
Be strong and calm always
Was her main message
In old age when with weakness
Inner strength led to calmness
Has been to us an anchor
In our storms a succor
Vibrations of peace and harmony
Is what has this far shaped me
The person I am today
Is how she gave everyday
To her owing so much
Sad at death as such
Feelings like a lasting fever
Of love and gratitude forever
Mother dearest to you farewell
From one knowing you so well
Gone but still present
Love and peace even when absent
