MOM'S CAKE

Mom's Cake

finding you prepared the cake ingredients
and materials of the mornings to twilights
nice smell surround
mom made it up silently
she's done them, by praying for her kids

rarely sisters helped stirring some eggs
spiltted flours also sugar,
it made our life brighter
these are, what a name of dynamic colors
smoothen by whispering wind blows

we've taken as long as alive
mixer soft voices
cake smelled well
knocking mom's blooming arms
spread them up on grasslands

heating an oven to run slow
waited tenderly up to a time
you could hand in hand
baked a cake by chocolate and fruits
mom's been picked in the patiently basket

it so brighten mornings up
let a dark still, to have eyes' light
let a dark still, to shake nicely
beating the dough: some sugar, butter
a beauty came in days until dissolved

spreading on a pan
baking and making it out of an oven
calmed on a plate, to be served gently
as our life in smooth and stoney sometimes
let us felt, smelt the dust around

a time came by, a gift-time of strong patiently mom
always wanted to give the best things
to make everybody smiled
even she's in arms of how
:you wait me by the cake, mom?
