Letter To My Mother
Letter to my mother,
To you dear mother
where you are in DrCongo
The distance between us
Won't cut the cord which links us
I still remember all the details of our
Last long conversation over
The phone and your last email.
I will do as you wished to please you.
Letter to my mother,
I saw some beautiful roses
In some gardens here
I think to make a best choice
So that I may not disappoint you in the future.
I know that mothers know the best flowers
Which can please their sons ,
Now you are far from these gardens
Where my eyes saw most beautiful red roses.
Letter to my mother,
As you said through love,
" Your choice is mine.
Let me see more grand children before
God call me to rest."
That lovely message from your mouths
Pushed me to look for some roses
Here and there.
I will end up finding the good flower that
Will please you.
Hope this open letter will reach you soon.
I love you
Dear mother.
