A Mother's Quiet Wish
She never asked for riches or for praise,
Her days were long, her hands were never still.
Yet through the noise, she sang a quiet song—
A song of love, for you, and only you.
She held your fears, and wiped your tears,
And waited for a smile, a word, a glance—
For you to say, “I see you. I am grateful.”
Something to bloom the silence in her heart.
So say it now, before the moment fades.
Her love was steady, though you may not have seen.
She gave you warmth, and gave herself away—
Not for reward, but just to see you whole.
A mother does not ask for loud applause,
But longs to know her love has made a mark.
A "thank you"—soft, sincere, and truly meant,
Can give her back a piece of all she gave.
A beautifully written piece, as always, dear Mam. Your words stir the heart. "Say it now before the moment fades" is a gentle yet powerful reminder—especially on this Mother's Day—of the love so often taken for granted. It speaks deeply to the silence of thankless hearts and urges us to express gratitude and affection while there’s still time.
