Poem
Start My dearest mother I miss you so much As a baby I yearned for your delicate touch May you be happy wherever you are I always feel your presence as such I know your dwelling now is very far At night I see it as a twinkling star Overshadowed by the brightness of the moon But unlike the moon there is no scar As a child you fed me with the spoon I outgrew that stage very soon Your embrace was wrapped in love Which gave me comfort and was a boon Your bickering was like the song of a dove Your threats were delivered with a kid glove Like when you threatened to twitch my ear I ran out of reach on to the terrace above Memories linger on through the years I felt secure in this world without any fears Images of you I shall treasure always Who would guide me and dry my tears? In the morning during those happy days As my bed was engulfed by the sun’s rays I was woken with a gentle caress and a kiss And told to be an early bird which always pays Life was easy, carefree and full of bliss There was ne’er a moment I would like to miss I looked up at the birds and wished to fly High in the sky and look down into the abyss If only I was there for that last goodbye I would have embraced you, without a sigh Deep in my heart you will ever be near My beautiful angel from the heavenly sky Can you see our plight, my mother dear? So far away, our wails you cannot hear Life clings agonizingly to the body in a clutch Violence and killings keep us in constant fear End
