Letter To My Mother
Mai (Mother), I am writing this letter to you in new format,
In the new era of email, I will send a message to you,
Since you are in heavens for a long time,
The feelings I have for you will never die.
I will invite you to visit my place overseas,
You will find food and culture so different than you have seen,
Still people are people, two generation of children will welcome you,
With their love, you will forget all the language barriers you may have.
Mai, in this letter, I will give my sincere thanks to you,
You taught us the preschool math and language even without going to any school,
I loved your cooking, maybe you can send me the recipe,
I miss your love and affection, no one will give the unselfish love and care.
Mai, I will try to appreciate your love for flowers and gardening,
The Guava, Mango, Jamun trees you planted, all the children enjoyed,
Even with dementia, you could recognize children with voice,
There would be no one to replace you in my life.
Mai, this mail will seek you amongst the stars in night skies,
There is a saying, loved ones do not die,
They love and smile you from up so high.
