Have Pity On Those Who Love Each Other And Are Separated

Rating: 5.0


Mom you suffered nine months and rest of the life until you died.
I continue and almost fifty eight years now.
On my birthday..........greetings and gifts come along from Australia and Sri Lanka.
My eldest daughter Tharindu and Son-in-law Kelum write,
Wish you a healthy & wealthy life and may your dreams come true!
The youngest daughter Thilini and Son-in-law Chinthaka insists
We could not ask a better friend than you.
Yes of course, my loved ones we are born friends.
It's our fault we broke our own peaceful nest and scattered into different parts.
But the links are much stronger than earlier in the chain.
I drew a World Map in my complicated mind.
I brought Australia to Canada and sent her to Australia
And my tiny precious island Sri Lanka pushed towards Hawaii
And sent Hawaii into the Indian Ocean.
But still it's too far to touch.
Oh! My beloved wife hugs as usual
You are a Sun in my winter Igloo
And a full Moon in the mysterious summer hut.
I kept a piece of cake for my missing son 'Marco'
from my beloved's home made delicious chocolate cake.
My grand son Siluna being a taller day by day
And I dream he becomes a Captain one day
Who steers well in the Ocean of life his seaworthy Vessel.

A beautiful letter of gratitude and hope. Your family may be scattered, but your hearts share the same vase. I'm sure your dear mother understands. I particularly enjoyed reading this glorious couplet: 'You are a Sun in my winter Igloo And a full Moon in the mysterious summer hut.' Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

A beautiful, poignant write. In your mind, you are at home in Sri Lanka. Warm birthday wishes from your poetess friend in West Virginia. And prayers that you and your family will be reunited one day. Fond regards, Sandra
