I Miss You, Mommy
A poem of yearning for a departed mother.
The songs we chanted
Tasty Sunday dinners produced
Memory tracks enjoyed after meals
And the bible verses we memorised
I miss you, mommy
A condition declares itself,
And I weep my eyes out
Your voice intent to soothe
Only your counsel inspires
I miss you, mommy
Whereas my emotions shattered into slices,
Regardless, he jilted me.
Dropped me for another
You formed comprehension of his claims,
I miss you, mommy
Although I lost my appointment,
Your power fell through for me
I came effective on your account
The universe had me covered
I miss you, mommy
I yearn for your distinguished nature
Your tenderness and perceiving guidance
I ache for your stern voice
Though so delicate,
I miss you, mommy
I desire for wide heaven’s gates
To meet you and split my agony
I perceive your response as:
“Allow it a chance,”
I miss you, mommy
