Mum

Written for mum few hours before she arrived in manchester for her first visit last year in march!



I sit alone singing a song
Waiting for the person to whom I belong
You sit alone waiting to come
Softly songs of prayers you hum

So far yet so near
My mother, you are so dear
Tears threaten to spill as I smile
Distance is lessening, mile by mile

In few hours you'll be by my side
Pleasure I try but cannot hide
Lonliness has been my friend too long
So I wait, eagerly, for the one to whom I belong

I think of the months, years and days
all the moods, tantrums and phase
illness and celebration and then more
exam fevers and jubilation for the scores

Each moment is precious and full of love undefined
For people like you are so refined
WIth grace and dignity you passed each road
Holding everyone close, when everything around us erode...

The love you give is priceless you see
It's made us what we wanted to be...
and days when self doubt sprouts
Your belief, in us, dispels all doubts

My arms wait to embrace you, tight
longing for the gossip, jokes and fights
You nurtured us and became our friend too
Never stopping, questioning, just letting us do...

Trust in us you have always showed
Even as we walked on different roads
and today you enter my world
glimpses you'll get of all that I have told

Mom, all that I am is you
To reflect your soul, what I won't do...
To make you proud, I dream
For out of all, you are the cream!
