Mother, how far are you?
Where could you be?
How long do you have to take?
OH! Mother
When will I meet you, and
how will I see you?
My eyes are eager to see you
My hand desires to feel you
OH! Mother
I'm falling in love
but I don't know where you are
My heart falls for you so long
It hadn't felt the mother's love
OH! Mother
I need you, need you
right here by my side
I need to know mother's way
My feet need to take
the same path you took
OH! Mother
I need you
OH! MOTHER
-Ciza Sylvane
This is powerful, Ciza. The call to mother in every human life is so strong, and this poem embodies that truth. Lovely.
