For Mom, with Love: A Photo Bracelet Ode

In a house that is woven with whispers and light,

Where the walls laugh at night,

There lives an uncrowned queen,

My mother in her plain gown.

Her eyes have seen many years,

And each look contains joyful or tearful verses.

She is the keeper of our stories,

The gale behind our family.

I was searching for a gift to match her majesty,

Something that time would never erase.

Not just jewels or fine spun thread, but

a loop of memories and divinely inspired design.

A bracelet, yes; a simple one though

Created lovingly by gifted hands from their hearts.

But upon this ring there lies charms mainly

Photos of our best moments ever kept by me.

Every little frame has got captured happinesses and delights

Smiles encompassed like sea in it.

A stilled laughter, embrace and kiss,

Small spans of infinite joys.

Here lies a picnic in the park,

Next to a sparkler’s forgotten spark,

There, a birthday, with cake on nose,

Next to a nap beneath the rose.

The wristband doesn’t hold only her wrist alone;

It holds moments kissed by life –

By suns, by moons, by stars’ light too.

By afternoon’s lazy golden glow….

Therefore dear mom I give you this artful piece of mine –

A circle filled with life-a map for my heart -

Wear it as you see;

This bracelet means everything to me.

Being the compass of all our days,

The warmth from Sun, the moon’s soft gaze.

And now on your arm is where history dwells,

In photos, a story that pleases can tell.

Keep it close, let it adorn your grace,

As your love has attracted every time and place.

There lives a heartbeat with your name in each photo, in each frame.

So wear it well; my mother dear,

Feel our love always near?

An unbroken circle, a bond set free,

This bracelet holds our memories forever.
