That after 5 pm brownies mom used to bring after her office hours
That midnight "did you sleep?" sneak-ins from dad
That sacrifices and love filled services from your younger sister
That gentle smile and excitement of watching next episode of B-drama with your grand-mom
We rarely take time back to rethink what we've left and what we're missing
We are so busy walking in the path of successful bright future
We tend to miss out these glorious moments with our family members
Today, I just miss you all a little extra While having this chocolate brownie
While not being able to sleep While doing all the work by myself
While trying to enjoy B-drama online
Guess its all about letting go of these homesick feelings
Guess its all about growing up
Guess its just between our minds
But today, I wish to share
To share those staying abroad
Trying to fight with life and challenges
All the best young minds
You all will do great
This time shall pass
We will be together with our family SOON
Hello, Melissa,
This is such an heartfelt poem. There’s this kind of ache when we miss our loved ones and we can’t do something about it. You are speaking in behalf of a lot of people.
In my country, there are millions of overseas foreign workers. So they can very much relate to this poem.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Melissa,
Thanks for sharing your lovely poem. I think reminiscing is a healthy thing, as long as it's not painful:-) I'm glad you will be reunited with your family soon, dear...

How are you my dear? I really like your poem, it's metaphorical and with a imegery content.
I try to visualize whilst reading. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great day.
Dear Melissa,
I love that you have written for us all to have more understanding of how being far from family can be heart-rending, and then that you send your message off to the wind with such love to others going through the same right now.
a sweet, lovely poem
Hello Mel,
Some sisters away from home would be reading this poem with mixed feeling. Please sisters don't cry! Remember the lives you are changing in your little ways and that alone will make the ones we left behind to be very proud of us.
Well done,Mel.
Sisterly love,
Harriet Chimdirimebere
