Mom Is Unforgettable

Many times on my couch I lie 
In a vacant mind  or pensive drift 
Wondering and pondering 
Why the thought of my mom 
Doesn’t go off my busy mind; 
Ever after she is no more

Is it ‘cause of being a chip off the block, 
Physical bond, blood relation, 
Evolution - in womb, 
Umbilical connect, love, 
Care and grooming.

In many instances stepmother 
Or a sibling, or a dad or others
Have filled the void caused by 
dead mothers or adoption per se

Is is because of gratitude or 
selfishness or emotion or admiration 
Is it food, clothing, shelter, love 
Security, protection and support 
Nothing withstanding.

Very surprising that this love for mom 
exists till the *** end of one’s own life.
Why and how?
For sure I don’t have an answer.

Mothers may know it best!
