Letter To My Mother

Letter to my mother, 
To you dear mother 
where you are in DrCongo
The distance between us 
Won't cut the cord which links us
I still remember all the details of our 
Last long  conversation over
The phone and your last email. 
I will do as you wished to please you.

Letter to my mother, 
I saw some beautiful roses 
In  some gardens here 
I think to make a best choice 
So that I may not disappoint you in the future. 
I know that  mothers  know the best flowers 
Which can please their sons ,
Now you are far from these gardens 
Where my eyes saw most  beautiful red roses. 

Letter to my mother, 
As you said through love, 
" Your choice is mine. 
Let me see more grand children before 
God call me to rest." 
That lovely  message from your mouths 
Pushed me to look for some roses 
Here and there. 
I will end up finding  the good flower that 
Will please you. 
Hope this open letter will reach you soon. 
I love you 
Dear mother.
