Bye Mom! Poem by Soumya Dash

Its fourteen long years
since you have gone away
I am not your baby anymore
I am all of 21 now mom! !

With many aims in my heart
much more confusions in mind
I have bade goodbyes to teens
I am all of 21 now mom! !

I remember the day you left
for the hospital, kissing
my head, and you came back
a month later in a coffin
draped in white, sleeping..

I am a grown-up one now mom
I make my own decisions now
Though you were never there
I never felt your absence here...

Now that I am in the threshold
of my career, ready to take on
my life, wherever it takes me
I need blessings of everyone
All my near and dear ones! ! !

Now that you are not with me
and I never think 'bout you
Your blessings doesnt matters much
Its your wish to bless your son or not...
Bye Mom! ! ! Bye Forever! ! !
