Mom, I love you

I called my mother last night
And she was not feeling well
Though she didn't say it
But by her voice, I can tell

I felt so heartbroken
I wish there is something I can do
The only thing that came to mind
Was to say, mom, I love you

And it had me thinking
As I sat there for a while
How many sleepless nights she spent
Taking care of me as a child

Wish I could give her the world
But what good would that do
So I wipe a tear from my eyes
And said mom I love you

I know she is grieving
Since my father died
And thought the pains keep growing
She never let it show outside

She would talk about my father
And stare in the sky that's so blue
And when she gets lost for words
So I said mom dad love you

I know one day the call will come
That she had joined my father too
And as we lay her to rest
I will say, mom, I love you

So if you are one of the blessed
To have your parents with you
it would make them feel so happy,
To hear you say I love you

The things our parents did for us
And they never let us knew
So lets us all thank them
By saying, mom and dad, I love you
