    What do the parting words of the poetess and her smile signify?    

    Answer:

    The parting words of the poetess and her smile signify her pain and fear of losing her mother. She tries to put on a brave front by hiding this fear behind a smile. All she can say to her mother before she leaves is, 'See you soon, Amma'. She is aware of her mother ageing, yet, hopes that she lives on for a long time.
