My Ultimate Protector
I look out onto the calm seashores
As I feel like a prisoner of war
I’m trapped out here alone
Out in this blue, littoral zone
Theres no longer anyone here
To wrap me into my warm bed
and no one to call me dear
Or to make sure I eat my bread
No one to tell me it will all be okay
or to be back home by the end of the day
The space is filled with pure silence
Without any form of guidance
The scent of homecooked pie
Has been replaced with briny air
The affectionate good-bye
Was something I used to despair
Oh, I miss the bothersome warnings
That rang throughout my mornings
To always wear my heavy jacket
And not to forget my tennis racket
The countless times I have left
To spend the night with my friends
Were nothing compared to the best
The best mother, she is Godsent
I contemplate my hidden observation
that out of all the things in creation
From this over the other
Is only my precious mother
