I just want to say ‘Amma I love you’

- Sanjaya Fernando

Amma

It is almost six years since you departed,

If you were with us today, it would have been your 90th birthday. The memories are still strong and I wish you were here today. I can’t see nor touch you so I know you’re not here but I’ve still got the past and in my heart you’re still near. Before I go to sleep at night,

I miss my usual call asking you how was your day

Feeling so sad and calling you Amma,

I must say I needed someone, cause of all my hurt and fear

If I could see you one last time you know what I would do - Release all my emotions and say Amma, I love you!
