I look at the gifts on the showcase <br />A pretty bracelet in a gold case <br />Galvanized by an unexpected lucky find <br />I walk to the sales girl to pay for the diamond <br />Just then my heart missed a beat <br />As I realized that you had left <br />Never to return…… <br />I miss you mum <br /> <br /> <br />I walk on the milky white seashore <br />A beautiful white “conch shell” caught my eye <br />Mesmerized by its loveliness, unique <br />I bend over for a closer peek <br />And then I saw your smiling eyes <br />Illuminated in a thousand shades <br />Tears blurred my vision……. <br />I love you mum <br /> <br />I wandered round the market junction <br />A platter of ripe “guavas’’ held my attention <br />Enthralled by the aromatic fleshy balls <br />My feet directed to the tempting stalls <br />And then I remembered that you were no more <br />I stood frozen with my arm raised and sore <br />I can't bear this pain anymore <br />You haunt me so... <br /> <br />Tonight, on the eve of this auspicious month <br />I can’t stop thinking of you mum <br />I miss your vitality and shine <br />I miss your tender touch divine <br />I miss your gentle voice and grace <br />All of which no mortal can replace………. <br />Please forgive me mum <br />I love you so very much <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />And as I write this on my screen <br />My tears fall blurring this scene <br />My heart heavy with grief <br />My breath shallow and frail <br />My lips tremble with emotion <br />A prayer of love and dedication <br />Rest in peace……With love <br />my dearest mum<br /><br />Aminath Neena<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rest-in-peace-dearest-in-memory-of-my-mother/
