Morsels of Love

Slumbering
noons’ the sun over high,
The head, bodies sweating in the light,
Running came I, from an alien land,
Never liked the stay far from my home,
Three months seemed eternal and abiding,
In the midst of this chaos, she waited for me,
When the whole town was asleep,
She remained awake, holding a plate full,
With lunch, a plate full of coastal meal,
She fed me with her hands bite by bite,
As I looked up to her face with keen eyes,
Her beautiful fair face still fresh inside,
Back then it was only food, which finished,
Fast I wished, but today I have realized it was,
Her sheer care, my mother’s morsels of love.......
