Miss you ma
by Jaya Majumder, India
You are remembered mother
In between talks and work
From away and afar
At my work and after.
The sunrise forehead I remember
That smiling face I remember
There comes your scolding and laughter
Your entry with my friends just after
But like a dream here they are
Following me here there and everywhere.
You used to start my morning
With one of your kisses loving
But that sunlit face is missing
With your love and scolding
But your smile is ringing
When I’m working or teaching.
I remember you in my work
I remember you in that spot
Standing with a flower pot
In the afternoon hot.
I remember those moved eyes
When you listened to music
I remember you in the moon light
As you always make me bright
