Parting

Yes, mum you helped and guided me,
In ways and days I cannot pay.
Your sacrifices and advices I forget not,
But now Mum, we part.

Let me go and seek to brighten my fate,
Let not my star shine too late.
Whenever God wishes we shall meet,
And if not Mum, take my last pat.

(We don’t spend all our life's with the people we love. It’s a bitter reality
we gotta face. Sometimes we gotta move on, get away from them however much we
dislike it. Mum, this is for you. I wrote it when I was 17, and still remains
unchanged as it sounds still fresh in my mind.)
