Mother In Memoriam Poem by Ramesh Joshi

MOTHER, IN MEMORIAM.

Mother o! Mother where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
I search you hither and tither, no,
You are not seen, to my mortal eyes. (1)

Year's have passed, my passing days near,
Still I recall, yet you hide ur self in my
Memory compact, continue, haunting my
Eyes searching around, round and round. (2)

Once, , as if in dream now, you were waiting
Eagerly for my supper and dinner, now none
Alas! Is left for my fate to fill that gap that
Place a vacum, none to fill in your absence. (3)

Yes, true, strange are the ways of children
They don't answer when mothers call, but
Continue to cry when not seeing their mom
Beside, only to realise the worth after departure. (4)

" KUPUTRO JYAYETA, KVACHIDAPI KUMAATAA NA
BHAVATI" ignoble children are found always on earth,
But never a mother ever found unworthy and ignoble,
On the surface of the earth, for SHE is mother of all mothers. (5) .
