Hello Mom, It’s me

Hello Mom, It’s me

How soothing it is, to hear you

from the other side.

Talk to me, Ma

though far off,

Your voice heals me,

Always,

Assuring me  of  love 
that's selfless.

Hello Mom,

Are you listening?

A confession

that I owe you,

I’ve taken you for granted,

you’d forgive me mom,

Won’t  you?

Say something, Ma,

Hello, Ma,
Are those the tears

that are choking you?

Wish I could wipe off

the tears, which trickle

down your cheeks,

to see you smile again.
