Mom’s Smiles
Very sentimental poetry
I recall my mom’s last eyes
no tears
Smiles as she passed by
tears did not then come into my eyes I too smiled
then it rained all day and night
mom’s smiles went away
now I thirst for those looks till today
as she passed away
it rains till today
nearly five decades away
she still smiles daily at me
I my mom can see
smiling with me
It does no longer rain
now it only snows
heaven knows
when she calls out to me
when are you coming
I smile back and ask
are you still waiting for me
