A Mother’s Tears
In silence, she weeps—
teardrops fall like autumn leaves,
each one, a story untold,
her love, deep and bold.
Through years, her eyes narrate
the struggle, joy, and fate
of days bright and nights dark,
her care, a ceaseless spark.
Even when her voice falters,
her strength never alters.
Mother—she who bears
the weight of unspoken prayers.

The poem captures the profound depth of a mother’s love and strength through the metaphor of tears as autumn leaves, symbolizing both loss and renewal. Each line hints at the mix of joy and hardship she endures, her resilience shining through her ever-present care and unspoken hopes for her children’s futures.
Inspiration Behind
I wrote this while thinking about the quiet moments late at night when a mother reflects on her day, her dreams, her fears. These tears aren’t just of sorrow but also of hope and unyielding strength. Watching my own mother manage to smile through tough times inspired me to express this universal truth of motherhood—that behind every tear, there’s a story worth telling and an unwavering spirit worth celebrating.
