Mom, I feel now you were brave <br />Still guiding from grave <br />Your face comes up before eyes <br />That makes me to fight and try <br /> <br />What did you not give? <br />Oh, you said forgive <br />To all who deceived <br />And not received well <br /> <br />Mom, I still remember <br />You were there <br />To call me stupid <br />And provide silently the lead <br /> <br />I never fell back <br />Even if so much was at stake <br />Your words were humming in ears <br />I still feel it even after years <br /> <br />You were heavily down with sentence <br />And made it known <br />That you shall never compromise <br />If breached the promises <br /> <br />I feel sad about your absence <br />Why all children need your presence? <br />Why only one soul is so dear? <br />I long more from all to hear<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-long-more/
