Motherhood

Do you remember the childish smile I had?

Do you remember how I called everyone 'tata'?

I was often scared of the beatings

And the constant screaming but then I received a letter on my sweet sixteenth:

When you first held me in your arms

I knew that it was your long-hidden dream come true

When you gazed into my eyes with zeal

I knew that our bond was special

When you jumped on the bed for my achievements

I realized that it meant more to you

When you stopped talking to me out of anger

I felt like half of my heart is empty

I know I won’t be with you forever

But your presence in my heart is eternal

I have your blood, you have my love

I am you, in a bigger size but at a younger age

I will always carry my love for you

Unconditional and pure

You’re the most beautiful woman I know

You’re my dear little mother!!

Your soul dwells in my brother and me

And will always.
