Title: Welcome to Motherhood

Year: 2020


The author writes this poem welcoming her friend and then colleague, Cigdem to motherhood for the first time. Expressing what are the things to expect during motherhood. A beautiful poem for all new mothers.


I have known you for over a year now, and it seems like ages to me

Who is going to remind me to have my Garam Garam tea?

Soon you are going to be a proud mummy

Loves seeing Lila do roller coaster in your tummy

Welcome to Motherhood, even though it is challenging as you think

The minute you see Lila all pains will be forgotten in a blink

Oops! did I tell you, there will be many sleepless nights

While neighbors and friends will be sleeping tight

You would be up when the tinker bell rings

Enjoy every moment the joy that motherhood brings

It's not just cleaning messy diapers and changing floral dresses

Listening to her stories is worth over million-dollar prizes

Oh, you will get through all of this, because you are one brave woman

Your journey of adventures begins now, live it with a grin

It takes courage to be a mother, someone strong to raise a child

Someone special and majestic, heartwarming and mild

Will miss you Cigdem and all the fun we had together

Remember the days you quoted SB Simpson & Heartland forever

Wishing you and Emeric all the very best in your journey of parenthood

I know you will be wonderful parents and forever a friend, to little Red Riding Hood

Your smile, a ray of sunshine bright, Now shines in memories, a bittersweet light. In dreams, I see your face so dear, And wake with longing, and a heart full of tears. The ache of your absence, a hollowed space, Echoes with whispers of our laughter, our secret place. Though you're no longer here, your love remains, A bond between us, an eternal, unbroken chain. In the sil...

WOMAN

 Author: Joy D'Penha Title: WOMAN Year: 2021 The author dedicates this poem to all Women on "International Woman's Day" In this poem the author describes the attributes of a woman, her strength and power, her meekness and gentleness. When God created a Woman He had a perfect plan He downloaded all the qualities For the tough race she ran A Woman of Substance, A Woman of Pride With a heart that melted, and the eyes that cried A Woman Bodacious, with love divine You could tell, she is one of a kind Even though through ups and downs You will see her happy, like a clown No matter what, she will be your friend Loving and caring, till the end She is calm on the outside like a duck But if you get on her face, I wish you good luck She will fight the fight until the end And wear His armour, for her loved ones to defend By her very different looks You think you can read her like a book Sure, tough to understand her enough Like the sea waves she is gentle and rough She will stan...

If ever time would stop for me It would be such a miracle Years ago if I had realized what I wanted to be I would be soaring like an Eagle The years just passed by so quickly Where did all my time go I made good friends, raised a family The fruits I did bestow It's time to think wisely My dreams, did I accomplish? Loyal to my jobs and family My time, I could not store in a dish Life hits you hard from time to time With obstacles and breakdowns Don't put your dreams behind As your time is still ticking on But I believe it's not too late Since age is just a number I'll catch up to my dreams an aspirations And make sure I do not slumber So my friend, listen to me And let your dreams be strong Live your life and be happy about  Before your time runs out
