Today,
tonight,
my words have disappeared;
I cannot reveal
what is felt deep inside me
as your daughter,
as a mother.
On silent, lonely nights,
when the chaos stops,
my rhymes and verses
usually come together
and render…
They render a feeling,
many a feeling.
But not today,
not tonight.
Tonight,
all I want to do
is
hug you
tight
and
thank you…
Thank you for everything,
everything,
all through the night.
Yet tonight,
my words fail me,
and the distance tortures me;
I cannot hug you.
I cannot thank you.
All I can do is…
pray
and stay.
Stay as strong as you’ve always been,
as I stay strong for my children.
Today
and forever…
Just like you
dearest mother.
