Mere words
will not help,
Real change/deed
required,
Mothers
being abused, ignored, forgotten
Across a monetized
world,
And
conveniently
Dispatched
to old people's homes,
When they
needed families the most
In the
sunset of their lives;
Sadly they
get completely erased from minds,
A fading
picture in an old album in a dusty pile,
Being erased
and sent to oblivion
By their
own, the ones nourished in caring wombs!
A line or
emoticon will not
Help remove
the deep scars,
Perhaps, a
long-delayed visit to her
Costly home
peopled by memories grey
Or
A loving
call to an aging heart
Will sure
revive a smile on a furrowed face,
Lighting up
eyes that see but dimly,
The splendors
of a lovely spring outside,
A closed
window of a cubicle shared by one more
Doddering
inmate in a flowery gown,
Go and hug
that solitary woman,
Surviving on
pills, prayers and occasional chats,
The frail
person that always
Stood by you in happiness and pain,
And guarded
you against odds and bullies
Like a
roaring lioness.
A Real Happy Mother's Day to all!
