Remembering Mom

Mom
is one who first 
understood the reason of your cry

Mom 
is one who first
knew how to calm you after cry

Mom
now that you are no more
I have stopped crying

Tears 
other construe as weakness
I have stopped correcting them

Tears
now I direct inwards
as in soul you reside

Mom
you still calm me 
when drop touches you inside

Mom
with you in me
how can I ever be weak?
