No words can ever match up to what I really wish to say...

Although my mother lives through me
 in umpteen subtle ways...

Yet, truth be told, she was unparalleled in demeanor, wisdom, and other-worldly grace!

A magnetizing spirit
 winning the affection and attention
 of countless souls of the human race...

Expanding her circle of LOVE
most naturally, and spontaneously... 

From the very nucleus of family, 
to the outermost peripheries of community, 
nationality, and universality...

My mother epitomized LOVE at its best⏤
being benevolently compassionate... 

Exuding selflessness through every breath
 and every step along the way!

Loving, giving, and receiving, 
responsibly and unconditionally… 
living her human purpose on EARTH
 with poise, placidity, zeal, and perseverance...

Yes, she emanated an aura of serenity
 beyond comparison⏤unruffled by worldly adventure...

Always remaining resolute and strong…
with tranquility, integrity, and equilibrium 

Having had a passion for learning
 ⏤from her very tender years to greater maturity⏤
through life’s perpetual turning to old age….

My mother was acutely intuitive
 to insightfully recognize
 that 'composites of knowledge' 
as ‘perspectives of knowledge’ 
converged provisionally, yet seemingly,
⏤fashioning the so called 'world'⏤
 pivoted upon the sole MORAL GROUND
 OF NATURE'S EQUALIZING COMPASSION, 
 SUBLIME, through eternal time! 
As a mentor to scores of children
 and parents of the world, 
my mother lived to perpetuate this TRUTH
 of PERENNIAL COMPASSION...as the edifice
 upon which all of knowledge must rest!

In her vision, knowledge in the absence
 of ALL-CENTERED COMPASSION…
is/was none else, but, a bottomless abyss, 
to solemnly restate!

UNCEASING GRATITUDE, indeed, is indebted to you
sweetest, dearest, MOTHER⏤GREAT!
for shaping the precious lives of your very own children, 
grandchildren, and children of humanity
with meaning and purpose
overriding conventional tides and trends!

This is a heartfelt tribute
to my wondrous mom
 who stood all tests of time
until the ripe age of eighty-five 
(at the dawn of the millennium)
 to share her heart of WISDOM and LOVE
through 'each present' 
along the spatiotemporal continuum⏤
called human experience!



Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.
