Miss you MOM!

Antony Thekkek 1956 (Kerala)



A baby was I
When told
Love
Is Unconditional.
mistaken and disillusioned was I
Entangled in life
Differently and lost have I felt
Amid the voices of millions.

Memories clear and Mother
It is YOU
The epitome of love who
Taught
Unconditional love!!

Why oh why
Teach me that
Which is not real
Surreal..

Mind filled with questions
Elusive
Memories of You
And your loving touch.
Unconditional love have I felt
Only you only you....

Miss you MOM!
