Nassira Merahi Poet Rhyme

Ummi (Mom In Arabic)

Sometimes I think that it has been so long since your departure
I actually lived more years without you than with you
Even though I had to accept the unspeakable pain I went through
I ventured into stages of life and had since mature.

Ummi words will not be enough to tell you how much I miss you
I remember your sweet smell forever in me imprinted
The cuddles of your arms where I felt protected
Your beautiful smile brightening my horizon renews.

I was not finish loving you ummi!
As I grew up more and more, learning to know you
I felt getting closer and closer … step by step … I had walked a few
I wanted to become your closest ally so you could rely on me.

I wanted to protect, help and take care of you one day
As you had spent so much of your time caring for me and my siblings
Your only girl I was and connected to you even in my dreams
I was going to be there for you… undertaking your relay.

My tears are still flowing for you from my broken heart ummi
As you left suddenly, a tear ingrained in my soul
I cannot resolve the unfinished puzzle
As if that fateful day, you had left with a piece of me.

I will forever love you …you’re the sweetest ummi

Mohammad Yamin September 21, 2008 at 4:49 PM Nassira, What a profound poem has come out from the depth of your heart. While reading it some stars sparkled on the horizon of my eyelashes. The poem gave spark to the memory of my own departed mother. I too have 'lived more years without her than with her. As I progressed reading your poem my agony progressed. In the end I had a wet handkerchief -pain, acute pain for my mother having gone from my life. I read Qur'an for her. Thanks for your lavish praise of my poem Galaxy of Thoughts.
