A Letter to Mother

Hello mummy, how are you
I believe you’re here on earth
And of course, your life is new
And perhaps you gave a birth
To some other child, somewhere
In a better place than ours
I was bad, I lacked the care
About you, when after hours
You expected me to talk
But I had a will to hide
Used to go out for a walk
In the darkness of the night
At the 4 o’clock next morning
Usually I returned 
I don’t know if you were yearning
Never cared what you have thought
Dear mummy, please excuse me
I remember your sweet voice
Hope your living now is easy
And this time you had a choice
Happy Mother’s day, my dear
You are always deep within
Sometimes I do miss you near
Much more often, than it’s been.
