Dear Mother
Don't know your address, in Heaven somewhere
Just know, I'm writing this with utmost care.
I never knew you, for you died one day,
left softly when my doll and I at play.
Though I didn't know you, I still missed you.
Usually those days making me feel blue.
Maybe I'll finally find you one day.
There are so many things I want to say.
I have one photo of you as a child;
for your grownup look, I had to compile
A bit of me, a bit of my great aunt
Your face a shadow, motherhood was scant.
You left one day, I had barely reached two.
But I know you loved me for it was you
tucking me in at night, leaving a kiss
even though just your shadow could exist.
Please look for me when I fly to the skies
Seeing you would be wonderful surprise
We'll find a garden and be together
Share pot of tea midst roses and heather.
