Mom’s final heart
14 June 2015
An entry in the Crocodile Prize
Kina Securities Award for Poetry
I am about to depart
I need to leave something behind
It will be meant for you son
Despite the time and situation
I would not be treasured
So I need to do it to capture
Your heart travelling miles
As you are demanding for my breast
I feed you the milk
You demand for tubers
I feed you kaukau
You demand for water
I feed you sugarcane
You demand for warmth
I embrace you
You demand for needs
I give you wants
You demand for everything
I give you anything
Yet you disobey me
Despite my expectation
You denied my time and labour
You walk away with my possessions
Even deface my integrity
Still I will give you what I care
Nothing much, nothing less
Something you will not touch or smell
Like kaukau or taro
But you will be satisfied
In your heart
For I will dwell in your heart
I give my only heart away to you
Treasure my love in your heart
For this is my final heart
Thanks Angra Philip.
Mom remains special in our hearts till today. They have a heart for us to enjoy the comfort of today.
