Mother's Outpourings

On the phone I hear you once cry
Hundred times, my love, I also die

Oh dear, What can I do, who do I please
How do I eradicate your forehead crease

Departing from there, leaving you all alone
I fear darling, I must have a heart of stone

Your pleading, damp, curly brown lashes
Arresting my breath, as my heart beat crashes

The pearls rolling down your rosy cheeks
melting me down like those rocky creeks

But no sweetie, now you be tough like a coconut
So nectarous inside, but still hard to cut

You’re so Precious, you are the best
This is the confidence you ought to invest

Listen to the rhythm of your heart
Whispering my daughter! 'this is a new start...'

Six years tunnel*, will bring enormous light
Blossom of success with each stride

I see you far, at the end of rainbow,
But colors in the middle, and poise glow!!

* time to be spent at academy
