Where Are You Mother

Where are you mother i remember your face was light in completion and so beautiful You and father used to dance around me making me feel happy but now everything is changed Where are you mother i last saw you when you told me to hide in the closet and i still remember your voice shouting out so loud and after that i heard loud bangs and i waited for you to come and take me but you did no come and instead father searched for me until he found me and took me to grandmother's house Where are you mother Please come back Father is crying Please come back I miss you mother and i feel your hands around me but i don't see you i dreamed about you but when i woke up i saw no one but clothes in the closet Where ever you are please come back So many people are coming to see us telling father how they are sorry for our loss but i believe you are not lost because i still remember the days we went to search for firewood in long distanced places we would go where we did not know but we never got lost I know you are near Please come back Everyone is looking at this big box that has your picture in your favourite frame and whenever the box is opened so many people start crying i wonder what's in the box If you were here you would allow me to see what is inside Please mother come back very soon I will be waiting for you
