WINNING ENTRY: Our Mom’s The Best!

By Dezadd & Meczaad Dotiwalla

Our Mom’s a living angel, we want you all to know,

We’ll always look up to her, no matter how tall we grow!

She showers us with love and passion, generously unfurled,

For the world she may be mother, for us she’s the world.

There are trainers and preachers,

But Mom’s worth more than a hundred teachers;

Learning with her has been pleasure and fun,

She believes, when you teach your son, you actually teach your son’s son.

She’s the greatest woman on earth, who ever lived,

For every Dream of ours come true, she’s the mother who believed;

Such a loving person, she means the world to us,

Mom’s our best mate, and she will keep on being thus.

For the unfortunate who’ve lost their Mother, our eyes sincerely cry,

Little known is the worth of water, till the well runs dry.

WINNING ENTRY: Ode To Mother

By Bakhtawar Noble (Port Blair, Andamans)

On life’s vast canvas, the sun doth shine,

vibrant colours sprayed by the Almighty divine,
Tiny tottering little footsteps on the sands of time,

A tiny miracle, a speck in the universe infinite.

A gentle outstretched hand held

Through the threshold of life,
A mother is like no other,

The guiding star in a child’s life.

She’s the tempest that clears the obscure path,
A beacon of light that tears through dark,
Like the vast universe that encompasses the earth,
The gentle hand that rocks the cradle at birth.

Forever thankful for your love and care
This ode is for mothers everywhere.

WINNING ENTRY: Happy Mother’s Day!

SPECIAL MENTION: Mom: A Promise Forever 

By Rianna Tarapore. 

Mom is a word of just three letters,

Yet it holds my whole world together.

Mom is not just a role or a name to call,

She’s the promise of nurture and care; forever above all.

She taught life’s lessons, with glory and flare,

Asking for nothing in return or in despair.

My love for you will never end,

My rock, my guide, my forever friend!

SPECIAL MENTION: THANK YOU MUM FOR ALL YOU DO! WE LOVE YOU!
