In the absence of my mother

Here is a lonesome boy in an empty room

Searching for her presence,

In every corner nothing

But darkness remains.

Every time when hunger strikes,

He remembers her absence ,

Surviving with her memories.

Sleeping on these rugged beds,

He remembers cradling on her lap,

Lying down in that empty room,

He counts days down,

To meet her again.
