Dear Mother

by Bharat Mehru

Together we
were all
on that
bright morning,
Father - we children
and the home were
so dearly loved

Today -
the household
doesn't belong
to you really
but to your sons,
daughters gone
sons separated
you are left
with none

Though
you still get
father's consoling
caress
but only
in dream
when he comes
with a teary face
and untidy dress

Every child has
good reasons
to leave
only you don't
care about the
reasons to love

Dear Mother,
go inside
it's too cold
shut the door
stop watching
this empty
threshold...!
