I never thought it would happen
To be away from my little angels
On the day going to the airport
I was so anxious and trembling
The pain of leaving them
Filled me up with grief
As painful as the broken wings
Whenever they looked at me
I tried to smile and laugh
To hide the sadness I felt inside
Their tiny soft hands held my body tight
A sword stabbed my bleeding heart
When they uttered …
“Mama, can you put us in your luggage? ”
The tears streamed down my face
I hurriedly got out the car
And stopped myself from looking back
As I stepped forward
I closed my eyes and began to pray
God help me to bear the longing of their presence
I promise I’ll be back soon
To have their sweet kisses and warm hugs!
