Mother! Why did you leave me?

I was only an infant, knowing nothing when you left

I spent all of my infant and childhood years without you

There was no you to wipe away my tears when I was crying

There are a lot of things I would trade to make up for our lost time

But that would be in vain because you are not coming back

I wished every day that you were still here

But that wish of mine was never granted

Because you were gone and gone forever

Never to come back.

I had to learn to live with that bitter truth.

I cried every time your name popped up in my mind

The idea of being here (on earth) without your presence was unbearable

I had to accept you are not coming back, though I wished you could.

I grew strong and got used to the fact that I would never see you again,

In your physical form except seeing the pictures.

Mother and son relationship and bond is something I never had and will never have.

Though you are not with me – you hold a special place in my heart.
