I'm Coming Home Mother

I wonder what you would say
The moment you will see me
Guess you’ll embrace me and cry

I am just thinking how it would be
As soon I enter that familiar door
Surely, you will greet me with glee

I have been from far away shore
Two years was not easy to bear
Without that sweet smile of yours

And so now, I’m almost there
I could imagine your misty eyes
That is, if you were alive, mother

Harder it gets, no matter how I try
Accept that you’re forever gone away

  1. What a beautiful poem...
    I guess... it should be an expression of longing for the beloved mom who was gone forever...
    So touch...
    Thanks.

  4. Poignant! There’s a twist in the last lines, which leaves a pain. Home coming; i empathize the emotions that you have scribbled here. It touches the depths!

Through poetry we can inspire others, we can make someone smile and words can make others cry be it of joy or sadness.
