Dear Mum, telling you I miss you is an understatement
You are the most indispensable person in my life
The reason behind my willingness to strive
Because all I wanted was to thrive
Make you live the life you deserve
And contribute in difference making
But part of this dream will remain unachievable
Because you are no more available
And life has not been the same
Since you left in my early teens
I miss your looks always filled with love
I miss your warm touch and calm voice
I miss the moments I leaned on you
I miss your amazingly bright eyes
That filled my heart with joy
I miss your beautiful grins and smiles
With your amazingly white, well-arranged incisors
It's sad that all I have today is our memories
Since you left, many things had happened
In so many ways, I have improved
I've equally been challenged
By life and its perplexities
And I sometimes got discouraged
But I've always persevered
During tough times, I sometimes weep
I sometimes find it hard to sleep
I become lost
And that's the time I feel your absence the most
Because nobody would ever stand by me
In the way your case would be
Thank God, I am now a young man
Indeed, I've come so far
I've learnt to strive no matter the circumstances
I've become braver
In my small ways, I make life better
For myself and others around me
And I wish you were here to see your son
I'm sure you would be proud to see me
Grind with deligence and perseverance
For even on your sick bed, you encoraged me
To be productive and responsible
My dearest Mum, I wish I could hug you once more again
And hold your hand once more again
I wish we could just see eachother once more again
For that one experience would remain
Precious and the most pleasurable gain
For me forever and ever
But even if you're not around,
Your spirit is around
The bond that binds us together is profound
And my love for you will never depreciate
You left at an early age
But your name will be in the annals of history
For your son will make you remembered
Rest well my dear mum, Hatta Cham.
