On Remembering My Mother

Remembering my mother, when a baby, I was in a cot wrapped up warm singing me a lullaby to suit Sleep beautiful, Sleep a dream happily. Remembering my mother, With tears in her eyes As my cries of pain persisted While the doctor reassures her In no danger I was….. Remembering my mother, Walking me to nursery school While as a toddler, I steadied along Carrying a small lunch box To sustain my hunger…. Remembering my mother, Sorting out my newly bought school uniform Encouraging me to study and learn As of now, as a student Far away to be from her….. Remembering my mother, Beautifully dressed for the occasion The mother of the groom, I Hoping my future with my wife Shall be secured and fulfilling….. Remembering my mother, As white a chalk As stiff as a statue Death came and laid her to sleep Tiring tears in my eyes With memories of the woman, I loved most.
