Goodbye for now mother,

I must go

To the city for a job

Because poverty is my foe.

I read in the paper

That there is an opening space

For An unqualified maid,

No education need to be in place

Though I can read and write

And do simple math

And I'm great at my chores

No one can top that.

But mother,

I will make ends meet

For you and my four siblings.

For father has left for India

And as yet to return.

I was just a babe

When that had occur.

You were pregnant

with Quadruplets

Oh! my four younger siblings

Don't deserve such a poor life.

Your heart don't deserve to ache

Your not suppose to cry.

I will send my pay cheque weekly

Then you can move to the city

I will make us rich

I will shower you in gold

You deserve no less

Not even silver

But gold.

So I say goodbye

I'll see you in a month

Don't you cry

You'll be in the city

Within a month.

I love you Ma,

You are strong.

Please keep it up till I return

Goodbye for now Ma.

Until I am able to say,

Hello,
