My Mother Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Every time you are not around
Void is my feeling and not sound
Even how I cheer myself to be happy
Life still is empty without you near me
Yes mum I cannot bear your absence
Nothing can substitute for your presence.

Gone were the days of my childhood
And now that I am in my adulthood
Life with you is my only strength
Under all circumstances at all length
Ever in my heart my love to you I'll share
Good or bad times l will always care
On this day I thank you my mother dear.

Past were moments of conflicting views
At this very day let love in us shows
Set aside those pride in our hearts
Put understanding to refine the acts
Emulates happiness for a new start.
