Phyllis Wong - Tell Me, Mother

2014-06-14 3 Dailymotion

I know you’ve found a place, <br />much better than where, <br />we lived as family in warm embrace - <br />so why is my heart still bleeding to care? <br /> <br />I know you’ve found new friends there, <br />whose company you gladly share, <br />like those days when we stood for each other - <br />so why do I still yearn for you hither? <br /> <br />I know happy memories should suffice, <br />and I’ve them aplenty, <br />of moments you touched me deeply - <br />so why for more do I still crave and insist? <br /> <br />I know you lived a good life of seventy-three, <br />as a mother and teacher you nurtured me, <br />you were my clutch to trudge over difficulties - <br />so am I selfish to wish you live seventy-four or more? <br /> <br />I know you still love me - deep and tender, <br />but deeper and tenderer is my love for you, my mother, <br />I wish I had said it many times over when I should - <br />tell me mother, it’s not too late - show me how I could.<br /><br />Phyllis Wong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tell-me-mother/
