Does She? Poem by Rahul Singh Rana

Does She?

Rating: 4.8


My mother used to wake up,
At odd hours
To watch me sleep.
Does she still wonder
If I sleep in comfort?

My mother used to fight all odds,
Does she still wonder
If I fight all odds?

My mother used to guide me through,
Does she still wonder
If I am lost in the woods,
So dark?

My mother used to be my strength,
Does she still wonder
If I have that strength?

My mother used to teach me life,
Does she still wonder,
If what is left in me of 'life? '

My inner self searches for her sign,
Does she still wonder
If 5 years without her
Have been so harsh?

Does she still wonder
When I stare at the sky,
So dark?
My quest places me in the past,
Does she still wonder
If my present can
Recreate my past?

Touches a vein.Good poem. Mothers don't go away. Question is can we live up to their expectations many years after their demise.10.
