The poet feels her old familiar ache of loosing her mother . She felt so because she thougt that it would be the last time she would be meeting her mother and afterwards she would not be able to meet her again. She tried to overcome the fear in front of her mother by passing a smile and saying that meet you soon amma .All these incidents raise the fear again in the mind of the poetess of losing her mother.

The child is always in fear of being separated from her parents. In the same way, the poet's fear as a child was that of losing her mother or her company..

The poet is pained at the ageing and decaying of her mother. The fear is that with ageing comes decay and death. The sight of her old mother's 'ashen' and corpse-like face arouses “that old familiar ache” in her heart. Her childhood fear returns.
