Tribute to my Mother

Tribute to my Mother
The hands that
Took care of
Me and the rest
Of the filial
Relationships
Equally well
Tended the jasmine
The floral and fragrant
Plant

They in turn
Sprouted
Bloomed
Blossomed
Radiating
The fragrance
In the still and
Cold air

The clock
Stopped ticking
But the
The fragrance
The brilliance
The Jasmines
She cared for
Still dominate
The ambiance
Telling me
The story
Of tender loving care
Which she was
Able to radiate
In abundance

She was strong
At 91 in 2010
But she was
Very very feeble
In the cold frosty 2011,
So cold we had
To say Good Bye
For good!
