The most genuine smile
one can receive
in the time of despair

The splendor of selfless love,
which stands tall
when the ostensible world crumbles and fall

The collective wisdom of a million hope,
when the heart recoils
Spiraling with speed into a hopeless abyss

the embrace of warmth and kind,
when the mind is desolate
driving the aloofness with sublime charm

The belief that heaven does exist
on this very earth,
in the fold of her eyes
and the creases of her smile

The feeling many a such
dwell within me and I live in blithe,
for me and my children
have a mother to celebrate
in every moment of our life
