Yes, Mother, you are right
You were right, Mother, when you said that whatever may come,
we can only tell each other what there is to be told
looking each other in the eye,
feeling each other,
touching one another’s soul,
loving each other by being together, into each other’s look and only
face to face.
You were right, Mother, when you kept telling us
to love each other
because love is the meaning of life.
You were right to tell us again and again,
and never enough,
sometimes you only called to tell us
to love each other.
You were right to keep telling us to be clever and wise,
you meant to say we must keep polishing our thoughts
until they bring out the diamond inside.
You sometimes called:
‘’Ok, then. There’s nothing that I have to say.’’
‘’Still, why have you called?’’ I would ask.
‘’Love each other, dear. That’s all.’’
‘’Oh, Mother, you’re kidding me. Are you real?’’
Yes, Mother, you are right.
Thank you for having told us,
we might have never known otherwise.
