Maa,you are missed.

14 July, 2007.

A day I wish would’ve never come in our lives.

14 July, 2010.

Maa’s 3rd death anniversary.

Time has passed really fast,
yet time has stood still.
Pain of your farewell is just so deep,
cant be cured by any pill.

I lost you & now you’re far away,
so far where I cant come.
You might be there in a state of peace,
but I,with grief, am numb.

You had such an early departure,
did i prove to be such a bad daughter?
Please come back, Maa, coz I promise,
to you, I’ll never bother.

I’ll not even bother api and dad,
I’ll have my meals on time.
But why did you just go away,
Can I know what was my crime?

If you think I’ve turned into a grown up,
then you’re certainly wrong.
Cant you see in my wet and teary eyes?
they’re waiting for you since so long!

If you look at me, you’ll soon find out
beneath my smile are hidden tears.
So you can spot how fate broke me,
by taking the ones I held dear.

What if our lads have forgotten us,
and what if nobody still cares?
I’ll stand on my own, will let life know,
that I’ll face it whatever it dares.

And though your death has shattered me,
and my soul has a wound unhealed,
but i am your blood, I’ll fight till the end,
and victory will be my yield!

So now, dont you think, that Im all alone
coz your prayers are still with me
and still you stay by my side,
brave and strong- I’ll be!

Your hopes for me, are now my aims,
and I promise I wont let you down.
and one fine day the world to you,
as ‘The Best Mother Ever’ will crown!
