A Letter To My Mom

To my dear Mom, I’m writing this letter A lone entreaty to forgive my sins So far what I misdemean and you wept mutely Yet you never moaned and you never whomped All the way you consoled by the warmth of your essence Today and every moment I miss your presence. All the love and care you gave me through yesteryears At your old age, I feel so ashamed I am so far… So far - I can’t even see your smiles and wipe your tears. You who brought me to this humankind And I made it going by my naughty mimes You smiled and laughed Every action of mine. I used to cry and there was no such reason to Yet you wiped my tears And fend for the cause. I used to crawl and tried to walk by my own I felt down and you eased my pain And hold me to arouse. I used to wonder and tried to babble what I meant Yet you took so earnestly And today I am speaking your tongue For you reverentially. I was living with no yips Now life has become so ignorant That I miss those warmth and bosom Holding your hand until I slept. I brabbled yet you palisaded You kept numb and I hollered Over lil’issues those were puniness. I kvetched and you tolerated Yet you guided me and I erred Thence I confounded yet you were my shadow Lonely I kept numb. You taught me to face the inhumanity And you let me free to live severally And today when I face such reality I just close my eyes I pray for you to be beside me. I shared with you first time The day when I fumbled in love You held me upon your cynosure And taught me n’er to lose patience. Like a friend you always supported And like a pal I accompanied you by my harebrained acts Like a soul you remained in my heart An eternality in a new friendly relationship Sweet-talked along lifetime. Today I feel so ashamed, am nowhere beside you But you are there all with those memories – I know you too think me beside you Turning back the pages of my childhood album You still cry and smile on my naked snaps. I promise you that I will come soon And paint those memories once again This time I’ll abide you and scold you, And will listen to your complains Thence I will assure you how much I care for you. Oh Ma!! I miss those gleeful days And I miss your presence Though you are in my heart and every word I speak today Yet I miss your guidance. I will keep my promise But today allow me to stop here Yet I penned every word Few letters which are missing Will share with your presence. With love…your son.
