Mother

The hands that held me first,
Whose milk quenched my thirst,
An epitome of love she does represent
The greatest gift that God ever sent
Mother, I wonder where you are,
An answer even God never gave me so far.

Her smile so beautiful than words could say,
Her gentle face that never fades away,
Her hands so soft that longed for a touch,
Never did I realize that I would miss her so much.
Mother, I wonder where you are,
An answer even God never gave me so far.

When I turn back & treasure the good times we’ve had,
It feels so strange to accept that it’s never going to come back,
Never had it occurred to me even once
That a day would come when I would miss your presence.
Mother, I wonder where you are,
An answer even God never gave me so far.

As days and months pass by before I realize
I gaze at the black midnight sky with my open eyes,
I love to think of you as a beautiful shining star smiling at me
How I wish I could reach up to you as high as it may seem to be
Mother, I wonder where you are,
An answer even God never gave me so far.

When he snatched u suddenly with no emotion of being kind
What he took away was the day you always longed for in your mind,
A day that any mother dreams of all her life,
Dressing her little princess and watch her walk down the isle
At that moment felt heaviness in my heart and tears rolled through my eyes
I missed you so much and wished you were right beside
Mother, I wonder where you are,
An answer even God never gave me so far
