Hello Mother,
It’s one of those rare occasions that I remember you.
Sometimes life gets so complicated and toxic
That you pass like a blur in front of me too.
I couldn’t even cast you a glance because I’m too in a hurry.
Work awaits and the kids’ need me with their homework.
Hi Mother,
Although I’ve been remiss, let me greet you now
With “Happy Mother’s Day!”, I love you!
Are you still there to listen to what I’m saying?
I brush you aside and take you for granted.
Now, I’m telling you, I’m still the same girl,
Whom you have held close to your breast as I suckle,
Whom you have held tight to teach me to walk,
Whom you have taught valuable lessons in life,
And whom you have reminded daily that life is not easy,
