DEEP LOVE

Just as I sat in my living room this Xmas
I began to guess towards my country home
I got lost into deep hallucinations

I saw my mother wishing to see me
At every sound of automobile closed to my house
My mother will listen keenly thinking it's  me.

This I believed she started doing since December fifteenth
I can feel that sometimes she hisses
And at times have a deep breath.

Occasionally, she can find solace in my brothers
And also be carried away by the presence of my sisters
And also may be contented with the presence of her grand children.

I can also hear my father ask, 'what of your younger brother?
'I hope he is alright, did you hear from him?'
'Is he not coming home this December?'

I can also see the faces of my nephews and nieces
Wishing that I was around as usual
I also see my brothers, sisters and sisters in law feeling my absence.
