Analysis of Mum: Missing Miss Mavis Freeman”



You fell asleep peacefully,
Can you hear me calling softly?
“Mommy, mommy.”
The calling of children.

You
will not answer again.

Time,
A freeze-frame in our photo,
In our memories.
Your love,
The same love from my parents,
Will be with me forever.

Mum,
I hate running water,
The flow is ruthless,
Time flows like water,
I can't catch the river of time.

I can't hear you.
You fell asleep so peacefully
