FOUR STEPS TO HEAVEN

One,
just try to understand like your very first run
what she has done and why over why
didn’t make you cakes and your favourite pie
hit your back then shared a cry

Two,
just do what it takes and forget about you
to undo those sad and unwanted tears
then whisper slowly in one of her ears
and throw away those sickening fears

Three,
just close your eyes and make yourself free
hold on to your hands and the belief you know
say thanks perfectly don’t ask for more or so
but for her to live so many years to go

Four,
just move your lips and think deep to the core
stand up proudly then kneel down closer
speak to your heart and summon its tender
say “I’m happy Mother, that you’re always here”
