To my mother, who I know has read it even before I wrote it...

I can feel you all around me,
My mother, Who rocked me to sleep
And this makes this life more worthy
This feeling, this presence...

There were times, of tears and smiles
Of pain and love,
When I could touch you,
And whisper to you...

And one day, all of a sudden
As you faded behind the curtain
I could only look by
Not knowing where you went to

And today, my eyes get moist
And my heart even more,
When I think of you
And all these years without you

It would have been different
With you smiling at me,
But more than the difference
It's the smile that I miss...

I love you, my mother
And all the memories we hold
I love you, my mother
For hugging this crying child;

I can feel you all around me,
My mother, Who rocked me to sleep
And this makes this life more worthy,
This feeling, this presence...
