When my mother was away <br />She left me without saying goodbye <br />She left me to great beyond <br />In this lonely wicked world <br />How would I survive <br />The demand of mother earth that asked of much from none <br />Oh! Mother, my dream of better tomorrow <br />My care not in worry <br />For always she is there <br />To meet the demand of mother nature <br />Not to worry her word of consolation always <br />Her remark for the demand of mother earth. <br />I lost my mood, my care and my future <br />I lost all a sweet mother could offer her child <br />My mother left memory of yesterday for my future <br />Oh! Mother, a paradise lost never to regain.<br /><br />Mahfooz Ali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-my-mother-was-away/
