The glowing sun rays shone on her face bright. Moving her hair aside from her face, she woke up with a glistening smile like always. She embraced the sun rays and the atmosphere around her. “Such a beautiful day,” she said.
She freshened up and saw herself in the mirror. Her weary eyes and exhausted body could not match her positive enthusiasm.
Mirror: Good Morning Lady in Blue, how are you doing today?
Lady in Blue: Just like every day fresh and kicking.
In her deep blue eyes, you could see the era gone by. Her unimaginable beauty makes you think if anyone can be as alluring as her. She kept staring at the mirror as if it’s a crystal ball where she is visualising her life gone by.
Mirror: What are you seeing today, Oh Lady?
Lady in Blue: She said,
When I was born, I was alone,
I had so much to give but no one to receive.
Everything around me was charming, untouched and pure,
Yet my heart craved for a family to share the love.
A woman loves to nurture,
So, God blessed me with children.
I fulfilled all their needs independently, caressed them and held them close to my bosom,
And, they loved me back with all their heart.
Things were smooth,
From a few children to communities,
I was surrounded by them across,
Never distress I had seen.
As the tally rose year on year,
In came a pool of thoughts, beliefs and practices,
Change is inevitable as I know,
Slowly, they forgot to love.
The Woman that I am,
Marvellous and Strong,
Fierce yet caring,
Independent filled with the treasure of love,
I broke with the ever-increasing differences between my children.
They fought, they killed,
Their eyes were full of deceit,
My own took away my own.
I swelled with anger within,
My heart cried in agony,
My eyes shed tears of blood,
My children worried no more.
The Woman that I Am,
Having patience galore,
Will bolster you till I can,
Beware my children,
If I unleash my wrath on you,
You won’t withstand I swear.
Mirror: Oh, Mother Earth calm down your stare. I understand you are hurt but you are not in despair. As they are your children, they will realise your worth. For now, I wish to see your magical smile again.
This Women’s Day I wish that we all take a pause and see what our Mother Earth has given us. A Woman without whom we won’t survive a second and think back what are we doing to her. We are her children and we are here to spread love and get loved.

This was a beautiful reminder for each one of us to save our environment, our mother Earth. Beautiful post.
Yes, it’s high time we realise the importance of Mother Earth and take care of her for us and our future generations. Thanks for stopping by 😊.
A thoughtful post. We tend to overlook this very important aspect. You worded it so beautifully and it aptly showed the agony we’ve put the earth through. Amazing
Deepika Sharma
I had longed to write on this subject and share my thoughts. Thanks for appreciating and liking them. 😊
It is truly said – Mother Earth can live without us, but we can’t live without her.
The Earth is our mother, nourishing and protecting us in every moment–giving us air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat and herbs to cure us when we are ill. She is a great being who has give birth to sons and daughters of the mankind. She is a loving mother, nurturing and protecting all peoples and all species without discrimination.
You’ve paid a wonderful tribute to her through your post.
As a human being I cherish our precious mother and I love her which is definitely not out of force but it is out of respect, personal and all happiness and survival.
Our Mother Earth nurtures and protects all of us indiscriminately and we don’t value her love, it’s high time we realise her importance. We are forever indebted to her and our love for each other is the only thing she wants.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
Bahut khubsurti se aankhe kholne wala conversation hai 👍👍 aapka presentation bahut accha laga, infact aankh hi bhar aayi, great 👏👏

Thanks Aunty, main khush hoon apko pasand aaya. Hum sabko mille khayal rakhna hai hamare liyeh aur aane wale logon ke liyeh.
This is really an eye-opening poem! Now, mother earth is also expressing her pain. What’s going on? How things are changing. What do we want to achieve as a human being? If we want to survive on our mother earth we should make a balance. We promise you Mother Earth, we will give you the season to smile back.

Thanks so much 😊
Good take on the prompt. So well written. We tend to ignore our own Mother Earth. She is the one suffering a lot . It’s high time we realize what we are doing to her. Thanks for sharing such an opening piece with us.
Yes, its time we realise what she does for us because without her we surely would not exist. Thanks for stopping by 😊
A poem in the eyes of mother earth is so touching. Yes, this mother who has nurtured her innumerable kids for innumerable centuries is hurt and bleeding. It is time to wake up and nurse her back to health.

Wonderful what a poem that resonates the world of today well done beautiful words :)but we have to understand that we have save our mother earth and live in peace 😊
True. We need to understand the importance to take care of our Mother and protect her.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
This was so beautifully crafted, so few of us care for the planet, however I often think what if we imagine the earth as a little girl and not essentially a mother.
Glad you liked the post. Would surely love to read your thoughts on Earth as a little girl.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
What a different take on the prompt… keeps one guessing till the end ! Superb!
Glad you liked and Thanks for stopping by 😊
Completely agree with such a beautiful post asking us to stop, take a break and take care of our mother nature.
I’m an Eco-mom and try my best with small steps I can do to nurture her and care for her.
We have little time left else our future generations will have nothing to cherish on Earth.
Thoughtful post and beautifully penned.
So true, we have enjoyed the love Mother Earth has showered on us and we have to take care of her back.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
Mehek, indeed I’m sure mother Earth feels this way. How we exploit her. We really need to pledge to protect her and the resources she gives us. Very good thought.

Thanks for echoing my thoughts and stopping by 😊
Wow. We all talk of different women but we forget the most important of them all; Mother Earth. What a refreshing take and a much needed reminder to take care of her. Very interesting and beautiful post
Yes, we often ignore the people who love us the most and Mother Earth is one of them. She needs our love back.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
Impactful, brilliantly written lines! We need to save our mother earth or no one can save us from mother earth’s wrath.
Yes, we need to wake up and realise and work towards it. We have a bigger goal to save humanity instead of just fighting amongst ourselves.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
Wow I am in awe!! Such powerful poem. You reminded us of our mother earth who is the strongest woman. We her children have been betraying her and have forgotten about her. We can already see her wrath in various seasonal changes happening around us.
Yes so true. The seasonal changes and natural disasters are a reminder to us that we need to think of saving our Mother Earth for our survival and future generations.
Thanks for stopping by 😊.
you came up with Great write up Manisha, Pain of our Mother Earth, today I got to know, what she might have growing through when we displays such an ignorant behavior, towards her, it gives us a reality check that how careless we have become towards our social and moral responsibilities, hope this post works as an eye opener for all of us.
I hope so too, that we open our eyes. Mother Earth is forever giving but we can’t misuse her love for us. Thanks for stopping by 😊
We usually tend to overlook this important aspect of our life, thanks for this reminder, it is indeed high time we act responsibly so that we could leave something for our coming generations. Thanks for bringing out this topic.

Yes, it’s time to think and take steps before it’s too late.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
What a different and insightful take on the prompt. We often ignore or turn a blind eye to the environmental problems. Our earth our mother surely deserves better from us.

A wonderful tribute to Mother Earth . Seriously it’s a matter of concern . We have to be responsible towards our earth . Beautiful pics you included.
Yes, it’s a matter of concern and we all together can make a difference.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
Your take on the theme is not only timely and extremely important, it is also thoroughly unique and creative. We must nurture our mother if we are to survive as a race!
Yes indeed, we need to take some steps for us and for future generations.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
This is an eye opener post. If we dont realize the harm that we are doing with our environment, soom we will get punished for the same. Mother nature has really nurchured us quite well since ages. However, if we continue hurting her, soon she will turn her blessing to curses.
Yes it’s high time we realise this.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
I love, love, love your novel take on the prompt, Manisha. Yes, Mother Earth is a woman too, and we are not treating her right. This is a timely reminder to change our ways!
Yes, it is. If we collectively work towards it I am positive we will make a difference.
Thanks for stopping by 😊
Wow, Manisha! I loved your post. You’ve brought out the love, selflessness and then pain and anguish of what Mother Earth must be feeling for what we’re doing to it and her kids. High time we remember that we’ve all come from one source and go into one! Let’s make this mother proud of us.
Yes Varsha, we have segregated ourselves but we all are humans and humanity is first. The resources and love Mother Earth gives us is equal now it’s in our hands to safeguard these for ourselves and our future generations.
we should not underestimate the power of earth, beautiful post
This is so true..we ar e what we are only due to mother earth and her blessings. Yet we conveniently fail to appreciate her and just add to her burden.
NATURE has provided us and here we are in a deep well. Unique take on the prompt, liked the concept of lady in blue.
That’s really very thoughtful of you to pay a tribute to Mother Earth. Indeed, we are nothing without her, yet nobody pays attention. High time we should take care of her before she shows her wrath. Glad you are a part of the blog hop and I enjoyed reading your take on the theme 🙂
we have to learn that saving earth is saving ourselves, we are not doing any favor by saving environment, clock is ticking.
A very thought provoking post, we tend to forget the sacrifices of Mother Earth and Nature. It’s time we realize the importance and work to save our environment.
Lovely way to pay a tribute to the mother earth using this theme. Climate change is for real and it is the need of the hour that we pay attention to the changes around us before its too late.
