In her poem “The Happiness of Every Mother,” Luisa Simone explores with delicacy and emotional depth the inextricable bond between a mother and her child. Through verses that flow sweet and intense, the author captures the essence of pure and unconditional love, transforming everyday moments into a sublime expression of affection and gratitude.
Simone begins with a powerful image, that of a son’s smile that illuminates “a dull sky” like the sun. This sunny metaphor not only opens the poem on a note of hope but also sets the tone for the rest of the work, where light and warmth become central symbols of maternal love.
One of the most touching aspects of the poem is the depiction of communication between mother and child as an expected “call,” allowing the mother to “fall asleep… without fear.” Here, Simone touches on the universal need for security and comfort that only such a deep connection can offer.
The poem goes on to explore the son’s gratitude for the life he has received and every achievement he has achieved, which the mother celebrates as if they were her own. This fusion of experiences and successes highlights a recurring theme: a child’s success is a mother’s victory, a feeling that Simone expresses with clear empathy and joy.
Simone then delves into the imperfect nature of the human being, recognizing that “no one is perfect” but underlining that true love overcomes these imperfections. The “regardless” love that the author talks about resonates as a universal principle, particularly powerful in the context of the mother-child bond.
Concluding, the poem uses a moving final metaphor: a mother’s tears, described as “stars… the most beautiful ones… humid, warm… the mother’s… the brightest ones.” This image elevates the act of crying, often seen as a sign of weakness, to an expression of beauty and profound emotional strength.
“The Embrace of the Sun” by Luisa Simone is a celebration of maternal love that manages to touch the reader’s heart, reminding us that the strongest of bonds can illuminate even the darkest days, and that every gesture of love, great or small, it has priceless beauty and value.
The happiness of every mother..
It is scattered in the smile
Of his own son
It’s as if the sun suddenly appears in a dull sky…
It’s that call you’ve been waiting for
To then fall asleep…without fear, a caress from the moon,
It’s grateful to know it
Of the life…that you gave him…for every goal he achieved…as if it were yours,
Even if no one is perfect we all know it,
But who loves
Love regardless,
And we love each other so much..
For this,
And his gaze when it meets… yours…
Cancel the negativity around you,
That sublimar of the soul
In the true and warm embrace of a son..
He dresses you in gold and diamonds..
If you cry for him…
They aren’t tears
They are stars…the most beautiful…wet ones,
Warm…mother’s…those
brighter.
