Happy Mother’s Day, Mother of Mine

On a fine Sunday 

This is  the story my mother had to say ...

    “I was born during the Repression

     When the country made war 

     My parents made love 

     Then  I cried into life

     My father was a free soul

     My mother was a fire ball

     Together they were jolly 

     And I came along for the journey

     Thru’ the hardship I kept going 

     I carried my siblings with no whinning

     Though everyday I start wondering 

     Why my mother is gone too soon ?

     Did my father promise her the moon?”

Quietly my mother refrained ...

I saw tears rolling down to her pain 

Among those wrinkles and grey she gained

I see a joy restrained

Today —- just for today 

If I had a way 

I wish I could free her mind 

For she is mother of mine
