#36 knock knock

Oh yes, please, come on in,
and have a seat, son,

hard for me to be this formal,
hard for me to tell you about this,
hard for me to think about this before,
hard for me to summon you here,

so,
listen carefully,
because,
it will be hard for you too.

can you see your mother's eyes,
full of love and cares,
when she looks at me?
can you feel her firm grip,
her reluctance of letting me go,
when she sees me hurt?
can you possibly comfort her,
when her knees shake, hand covering mouth,
when she cries and I am not around?
can you imagine the possibilities,
what will happen to her,
when the time has come?

when my time has come, son?

it is around the corner,
you cannot see,
it shall appear,
I cannot flee,
sorrowful bitter,
you have to let me,

take care of your mother, son.
