Happy Mothers' day.

Happy Mothers' day to all
Mothers in the world.

It was painfully true to admit,
Not many people received
The luxury of the unconditional,
Kindness, gentle but greatest love
In their world from their mother.

The life's materials, the science and technologies,
Which constantly became available,
Ready to replace most of the human's abilities,
The intimacy contacts and direct communications.

Instead of a home visit,
Greeting with the word "Hello mum, happy Mothers' day", 
With a big and warm hug
And a kiss on the cheek,
They have been replaced by a phone call, a text message with moji and fancy A.I. ideas.
And sometimes, a bunch of flowers,
Hand delivered by a stranger.
Since last year, I met two individuals,
They told me they did not
Get along with their mother,
I was hurt and have empathy for their loss.

I would be visiting my mother
Once I was done with Maryborough.
I headed north to walk
On the pebble stone path,
Along Lake Victoria, Princess park,
Then I went south to relax with bats,
Hung upside down on trees,
At the Phillips Gardens.

Back home, early that evening, to my surprise,
To saw someone once I loved.
As I headed back to the bus stop,
In front of his second home,
There was someone sat at the steps,
With his pushed bike leaned against the iron gate,
There he was, sitting in the dark,
To surf on the internet.
Enjoying the wifi provided by his second home.
Ironically, we crossed path again unexpextedly,
We exchanged no words, not even eye contact,
This evening, he was sitting still, until I left.
The last time we met, it was on Thursday, 2025.10.21,
Six months and twenty one day already.
Tonight, he was there indirectly because of his mother.
To avoid being with her and his family,
Who happily and proudly celebrated the important day.
On the contrary, I would not be there
If it was not because of my mother.
I travelled miles away back here
To show my appreciation,
To one important person,
On this significant day.

Once again, Happy Mothers' day to all the mothers in the world.
