Poem: So many mothers have gone
Let the sun not set
So that we can weep
Let our sorrow be heard
Covid-19 disease has stolen from us
Took all our dear mothers
Swallowed our hopes
In a span of sixteen months
We witnessed the barbaric attack
On the pillars of our societies
One by one, they fell
Into the gushing sludge of death
This is not right
For mothers to leave their children behind
Never to be heard from again
We waited by the telephone
Hoping to hear the whispering voice
From beyond the grave
Telling us that it will be alright
We searched our hearts
For our mother’s Love
We couldn’t bear the thought
That our mother is gone forever
I pray today for all those who lost their mothers
To be strong and courageous
Our mothers were gentle giants
Walking among us
Now, there are no more
We can only hope
That we can be like them
Withstand the harsh seasons of life
And yet be able to smile
To love unconditionally
Amidst the storms of life
To nourish and cherish others
Regardless of our circumstances
So long dear mothers, so long
