I wish you were here Maa

I wish you were here Maa
to see your daughters achievements
No one else would have been as much proud as you would Maa
I still remember you bragging about my smallest achievements
Can't even imagine how much you would have boasted now Maa


I wish you were here Maa
to help me overcome the guilt I live with
so I could  help you as much I could not help you then
I still remember your belief in me was close to almighty
being so helpless then is killing me now Maa


But you know what Maa?
You touched my heart the most
You not only served while you were here with us
you also served when you are not here with us
Your absence made me understand what I am for my kids
This feeling has made me stand every time I fell Maa

You know what Maa?
I feel like I have lost my maternal home
I feel like there is no one here for me
It's not that no one loves me
but you know what I mean na Maa?


I wish you were here Maa
to embrace me in me your arms when I need the love
to relax me when I am tired
to kiss my forehead giving that warmth
to let me see in your eyes the pride of being my Maa
to celebrate me and my achievements Maa
