Long Ago Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Long ago it was.
I remember the day
The winds howling
And the rains falling.

And you, and you
My mother
You still came to help
Despite your tottering
Despite
Your frailness.

I remember, I remember
How in a the old
And humble coat
You came to help me
Braving the storms
With the love of a mother.

I will not ever recompense
With the love of a son.

Back home we
Closed outside
The waters winds and
Storms
The sun then shone.
