Summary of the poem my mother by
a.p. j abdul kalam
Answers
: MY MOTHER Sea waves, golden sand, pilgrims’ faith, Rameswaram Mosque Street, all merge into one, My Mother! You come to me like heaven’s caring arms. I remember the war days when life was challenge and toil— Miles to walk, hours before sunrise, Walking to take lessons from the saintly teacher near the temple. Again miles to the Arab teaching school, Climb sandy hills to Railway Station Road, Collect, distribute newspapers to temple city citizens, Few hours after sunrise, going to school. Evening, business time before study at night. All this pain of a young boy, My Mother you transformed into pious strength With kneeling and bowing five times
hope its helpful for you.
Answer:Dr. Abdul Kalam, was very closely bonded with his family, especially his mother. Hailing from a very poor family, his mother made many sacrifices to raise the children. Hence Kalam has written poems depicting his mother's pains at many times. In this particular poem he describes as to how loved he is to his mother, than his rest of brothers and sisters, who envy him for being loved more. He says he was only 10 years old and he remembers very clearly how she wept in the night, grieving about the pains his son has to endure everyday.
Only his mother understood the beautiful world of the poet, which he weaved around himself, and only she knew his pains. And he was consoled only in the lap of her mother, when she moved her caring hands on his head, all his pains were washed away. His mother gave him constant hope and strength in times of need and she was the only source of encouragement to him.
The author remembers that all that he is today is because of his mother, for the courage and perseverance that he possesses has been bestowed on him only by his mother. And finally the author hopes that he meets his dead mother once again on the great Judgement day.
