MY TAKE ON THE BOOK:
‘Priceless Pearls’ is a collection of poems written by the author dedicated to her Mum.
The cover of the book is attractive and the title truly depicts the soul of the book which is a ‘Mother’. Why I am telling this? Because I feel that way.
It is a book which comprises of the emotions and feelings a child has to be away from her Mum, being guarded and supported, and later on understanding what a Mother goes through in her life.
The book has beautiful poems adorned with the innocent emotions of a child.
I have enjoyed reading it and I am sure you too would love to read this book.
Among all of the poems, the one I liked the most is-
'MY RUEFUL APOLOGY'
I
blamed my mother for the longest
For
putting me in a boarding,
Little
did I know she was doing her best,
putting
her own desires at rest.
A
working Mum protecting her daughter
from
unseen disasters
She
must've cried seeing her empty nest,
But
all I did was blame her for my loneliness.
I
don't remember thanking her enough,
when
most of my unspoken dreams were also met.
I
wish I was more responsive to her efforts,
in not clipping my wings but making them
strong,
Blaming
our parents is so easy,
When
it's our own thoughts
playing
the wrong tune all along.
I
wish I could give back even one percent,
of
life's countless horizons
she
sacrificed for my quest.
All
I can say in return today,
Yes
I'm blessed yes I'm blessed
for
I have a mother who's the best.
P.S.- It will take half an hour to complete this book but the impact of the book will last for quite a while.
