Happy Mother's Day!

How I envy many others who can celebrate this special occasion
How I dread seeing banners and banners on this occasion
How contradicting!

How I wish I could still offer mom some carnations in person
How I wish I could bake and share a slice of cake with her
And see that special sparkle in her eye and that great warm smile
How I wish I can return to the good old days - have her with everyone else

I know I cannot turn back time
I can only wish for the day to come whereby I can see her again
Mom, I missed you!
