Your Poetry Dot Com - * MOTHER OF THE WORLD *

~*~

Thou, O Mother,who gave birth
To the sky and to the earth,
Hung Heavens in the empty space,
Made and lighted up the Sun and stars
To stay and shine upon this earth!
O Mother! Thou art the Lord of Lords,
Adored by Men and revered by Gods!
~*~
In Shakti, none with Thee can vie
Thou fills the earth, the air, the sky;
Thy presence, unperceived, extends
Beyond the world's remotest ends.
A million skies fall short of Thee
A billion Suns can not out shine
The effulgence of Thy light divine.
The universe which we boundless deem
To Thee but as a handfull seem!
~*~
Mother, Thou art without a peer
On earth, or in yonder heavenly sphere.
The circling times which wear away,
All else, to Thee can not decay;
Thou shinest on in youthful force,
While countless Yugas run their course.
Unvexed by cares, or fears, or strife,
In bliss serene flow on our life,
With faith we claim Thy aid divine,
As thou art Mother, and we are Thine!
