My thoughts

Mom Why did you go, so many things I had to show, A bundle of Joy who came into my life - has your glow. Your daughters are fine; your only son is well. Your favourite grandson is getting married,   Knowing this, I know your heart will swell. A piece of your heart is now a part of me She still calls out NANA, NANA with glee. This day I remember. This day I want to forget, I yearn to be with you, my only regret. You raised us well ; in spite of all the obstacles ahead. Not once did you wince nor did you whine You tirelessly nurtured us even while on your deathbed. Why did you go?   Why didn’t you stay? Mummy, may your soul rest in peace, we all pray.

Perfidy She says you are the best, but behind your back, she addresses you as a pest. Every time you convince yourself, ‘No, she’s a good soul’. Time and again she has proved you wrong Time and again she has broken your trust You distance yourself, but there she’s back in your life like a boomerang. All teary and fitful she looks out for shoulders, Next moment she’s with the boulders; to shatter your trust in all mankind. Betrayal is her second name or one may address her as Judas or Brutus… When she meets you, she greets you as though you were her long lost friend. You turn your back, you are stabbed to death.
