A letter to mom


Memories stacked up in my heart Tears finding a path to flow Burdened by those heavy ornaments I'll crave for the lovely days begone when you cooked mushroom and I created a ruckus running away from dinner table. Then I'll have to decide the menu Each time I enter kitchen I'll be lost in those memories Whilst you fed me with your hands. Then, I'll be the bearer of everyone's taste buds. Mom, remember how I keep my room untidy And then there will be no one to ask me to put my shoes back in rack after coming home You groomed me With all love and affection That'll reflect in my deeds towards this new found paradise But no palace is better than my dad's kingdom of love Where I ruled, I was the princess I wish the day I have to leave comes no sooner For I wish to stay I walked the road by holding your hand But how can you send me alone to build a new home with someone just a stranger to me You raised me to let me go and brighten someone else's life But who'll take care of you and Dad When you're not left with the strength to cook your meals Who'll be your saviour Who'll be your morning hug Mom, I wanna stay right where you are...
