Nearness of You

how can one explain the nearness a mom feels with his child
even though he is more than a hundred kilometers away from her?

it is when the everyday experiences are retold
by the time he is in her embrace again
and everyone in the family laughs or gasps
making the moment feels real

it is the comfort of knowing
and the sense of familiarity
that the path she once treaded
is the same as where he is coming from
