I am not sure if I still make you proud,

I wish I could hear you say it out loud,

It’s also not that my story has fairly  prevailed,

In a world without you, I  have fallen and failed!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@

All I ever want is to pay you a homage,

But I don’t even have half of your courage,

Fighting alone without much of  a choice,

I still crave your guiding voice.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Yet I climb the ladder only again to fall,

Hoping that someday I may stand tall,

And even if I can do everything I can,

At times, I am a broken man!

Dedicated to my sweetest, dearest, loveliest mommy. My everything!
