Mother

by Al-Hadi Adam

Who was it that fed me, who gave me to drink,

When in my cradle I could neither speak nor think?

Who translated my cries, gave my anguish a name,

And understood what I meant when I cried out the same?

When night wrapped my cradle in darkness, who then
Would rock me and soothe me, unwearied again?

Who listened to every command that I made,

And ruled through the night and the day, unafraid?

Oh, what a paradise her heart was to me—

How much I enjoyed it, how much she gave me.

How often I filled both her nights and her days

With childish mischief that tested her ways;

Yet whatever might trouble her heart or her breast,

She dreamed on in patience and gave me her best.

How often I sickened—and never would sleep

Touch her eyelids; while all the world slumbered deep.

I suffered, she suffered; I cried, she would cry,

As though I were part of her own flesh nearby—

A limb from her body: if torn from her frame,

It too would be lifeless, it too would be maimed.

Then when sickness unveiled its face from my eyes,

And the fears she had harbored at last ceased to rise,

Tears sprang from her eyes—tears of gladness and joy,

And tender, transcendent compassion shone through.

She is a candle, yearning, melting away,

So that I might see where to place my next step;

And by the dance of her flame, I move on,

Following her light as I journey along.

God forbid that I ever forget what is due

To motherhood—its rights, its promises true;

For she is the most faithful, the tenderest, best—

The most dutiful mother, the most merciful.
