Lumps in my throat
washing last pants in the sink,
remembering the friends,
sipping last mango drink.
Lumps in my throat
booking last room in Bombay,
remembering the views
using last rupees to pay.
Lumps in my throat
Writing last posts for the blog
remembering the towns
breathing last exhaust smog
Lumps in my throat
Buying last bits and bobs
remembering the journeys
doing home-going jobs
Lumps in my throat
Eating last street samosa
Remembering the food
Scoffing just one last dosa
Lumps in my throat
Feeling oddly alone,
remembering Britain,
and thinking of home…
I just read this to Dad.....and his eyes filled with tears....enough said. 2 days xxxxx
