queer gesture

we ___ sat side by side

on the same bench outside

we___ ate rice and apple from the same table

cooked and baked, laughed and loved 
all in fake...

i am glad it didn’t turn to hate

we___ started and finished the day with our own prayers

from monday to sunday there was nothing more to say

we___ shared the bed we shared the roof

and nothing bad nor good needed to be proved

for you are here miles away from near

you delivered a sheer picture of a motherly figure

to your dreary and weary daughter

totally unclear, was that so real?

thank God for He is always near

to help me cope with the fear

and to enable me to remove all the barriers

that stand along the way…

to love you and forgive you 

though your love is still a queer gesture

from a mother to her daughter
that won’t draw us even closer 
to each other…
