In midnightg sleep
I lost her words in emotion
Such was sweet and memorable relation
It existed since childhood
Her smile was my happiness and food
I felt something in my hair
As if something was lifted through air
Her fingers were moving with gentle pace
She was silently watching my face
Those were my early days
When I had chosen carrier and gone away
Preferred the services of motherland
She was little upset but turned jovial at the end
Why are you awake and restless?
I found her touch so unique in any case
It was giving me comfort in head
She could happily read me on the face
“I am proud of you dear son”
You are the handsome and luckiest person
“Why do you say all this today” now it was my turn
“Are you alright, any way?
Yes yes, it was all about you
Being mother I have felt it through
People are saying “you are brave”
As mother I feel satisfaction that I did not have
For the first time I felt something precious
Why mothers are known as so gracious?
They have always reason to feel elated
Happy when some thing happens so much related
I miss her today and shed tears
She had to f ace so much hardship and bear
I knew her heart well and felt so much grief
I could hear her cry in night as I was no deaf
She sat quietly near by and watched my face
I was so dear to her and she smiled always
Even after so many years of her death, I scream and weep
I suddenly get up and watch her in midnight sleep
