I couldn't listen to her voice,
I couldn't ask her advice,
I couldn't make her something nice,
I couldn't pay for her sacrifice,
Not anymore,
How I wish I had done all of those,
Well maybe I had almost,
What I could do is cherish the memories with her,
I could pray for her,
I could tell my children about her,
I could share stories about her,
I could dream about her,
As there is as very special place for her,
Deep in my heart,
Though I couldn't remember did I tell her,
How much I love her,
How much I appreciate her,
How much I need her,
This Mother's Day,
I couldn't wish her anymore,
But I shouldn't stop thinking about her more and more.
P/S: I dedicated this poem to my late mum who died June last year (2008). I reckon those who have lost their parent/parents can relate to this too. I had some ideas about writing up a poem about my late mum on the last Mother's Day and this is the end-product.
