For My Mother!

I wrote this poem 7 years ago after my mother passed away on 31st March 2006. 

This was one of the first few poems I wrote. Sounds pretty kiddish at some points.

And oh that kid is me.

She was a true reason to smile,

to make others happy she would

travel several miles.

She was like a light in darkness,

would snatch away all that sadness.

She sacrificed, she compromised,

all her life through,

a gem of a person, so loyal and true.

Her honesty and loyalty can never be measured,

her moments with me, will always be treasured.

Her laughter brought happiness in the air,

How much I miss her, I see her everywhere.

She never complaint, how torturous was the pain,

all those prayers, all went in vain.

Her absence in the house is deeply felt,

with all this stress, my heart seems to melt.

I can’t figure out, what to do,

how to manage things and my life too.

She didn't deserve to go away so early,

she loved us all, so truly and deeply.

No one can fill the emptiness she left,

its getting tougher and tougher for me to accept.

My heart inside, seems to shatter,

Her, I need, nothing else matters.

I really wish, to turn back time,

life would then have, a reason to rhyme.

Why GOD took her away from me,

we were living the moments of

happiness and glee.

So strongly she believed, trusted HIM,

she wanted to be happy, wanted to live.

HE shattered her trust and ours as well,

such a harsh reality, so hard to dwell.

Life seems so impossible, to live it through,

I really need someone, as special as You.

Oh, how I wish to see you again,

the tears have dried, my heart is in pain.
