Missing you on your Birthday , Amma…

Amma, it’s your birthday today

Memories of yester celebrations                       

Flooding back to my mind

Those special memories

Will always bring a smile

You were gone so soon

Never said you are leaving

Never said good bye

It’s so hard, wonder how to get over it….

My heart still aches with sadness

And secret tears still flow

If love could save your life

You would never have died

If only I could have you back for a while

Just to sit and talk like we used to do

If only I could hear your voice again

Just to listen to all those “sahasranamas”

I know my wish will never come true….

The empty space will never get filled

But, you are forever in my heart

And the loving memories will remain. 

Amma, you may not be here with me today

But, the day meant just the same…

How badly you are missed on your special day

is something you will never know……
