Mummy
When we all were little kids, our parents were the world to us. They loved us unconditionally, gave us all they could, made sure we were happy, safe & never hungry...
Memories of my childhood were filled with both happiness and sadness. Mainly, these memories contained my mother. How she slogged to bring her 3 daughters up, how she always leave the best things for us, how she always worry about whether we had enought to spend, how nobel and self-sacrificing she was.
Dad left us when I was three... looking back it has already been more than two decades since he left. Though I grew up without a dad, I never felt less fortunate as compared to my friends for my mother gave us so much. She made sure we never felt abandoned and unwanted. Being the selfless person she was, she gave up a very nice man for she wasn't sure if he would love us as much as she wanted him to.
Not that all her 3 daughters have grown up, she is all alone. While other older women have their husbands to bring them out for tea and nice holidays, my mum had no one. As such, I always try my best to make her feel loved and whenever she could, I would offer to bring her out or get nice little things for her occasionally.
I just wanna dedicate this post to the greatest woman of my life. I know besides her, no one in this world would love me as much she she does and no one would ever be as selfless as her.
I love you mum...here's a song for you:
Fly Away - Corrinne May
'When will you be home?' she asks
as we watch the planes take off
we both know we have no clear answer
to where my dreams may lead
she's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
as a child, she was my world
and now to let me go, i know she bleeds
and yet she says to me
you can fly so high
keep your gaze upon the sky
i'll be praying every step along the way
even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
i love you too much to make you stay
baby fly away
autumn leaves fell into spring time and
silver painted hair
daddy called one evening saying
'We need you. Please come back'
when i saw her lying in her bed
fragile as a child
pale as an angel taking flight
i held her as i cried
you can fly so high
keep your gaze upon the sky
i'll be praying every step along the way
even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
i love you too much to make you stay
baby fly away
