A Gift For Mother

(Dedicated to Mom on Mother’s Day)

 

Beyond the seas I travel,

Hoping to find what I’m looking for.

Will it be a peridot to bring her prosperity

Or maybe I could plant a hazel tree in the garden

To protect her from evil spirits?

Will it be a tulip to bring her a ray of hope

Or a crown of sweet-scented flowers

To show up her regal status?

Touched by the continuous search,

Helios sent his ray on earth,

Waking up the little suns

From their peaceful slumber,

Spurring them to escort me

On my way back to the parental home.

Sadly, I tell mother about my failure,

But she directs my eyes

To the field filled with gold and light.

“Admiring the gift of the sun together

Is more beautiful than the expensive things

Bought from all corners of the world.”

 

The Ray Of The Sun

(Dedicated to Mother on Mother’s Day)

 

Sent by Helios

To light the way

To achieve our goals,

It disperses the thick fog,

Revealing the vernal landscape.

It reflects in the droplets of emotions,

Creating the rainbow of happiness,

Clearing the sky of the clouds of sadness.

It invites us to pick the flowers of love

For the goddess that gave us life.

 

The Lioness

(Dedicated to Mom on Mother’s Day)

 

Daughter of the sun god,

She’s a ray of hope

When we’re hopeless,

Giving solace to the soul

Hurt by the hard words

Said by the envious spirits.

She softens the heart of stone

With the fire of love and kindness.

Dressed in her father’s golden armor,

She fondly wears mother’s ruby earrings,

Ready to inspire the victims of fear with courage.
