A Poem for Mother

The Northern wind sang from afar,
It said “Child, child, what are you looking for?
“A star that shines bright, a quasar,
“A pearl lying on the shore?”

“No… Northern wind no… I need not all those.
“I need only the person whose,
“Heart beats and blood flows,
“And gave me life as diamond lush…
“The love that I have for her may not be replaced by anything,
“Let it be known that of all beautiful faeries and angels legends the world can tell,
“To none of them my appraisal befell.
“To the one and only woman I love,
“For her I released a thousand doves.
“My Mother,
“The one I love forever and ever…
“I vowed to love her, a solemn oath,
“Forever I shall sing my love song,
“An ode that shall linger for long.
“May the song echo in my mind,
“As I keep chanting, I shall send the words to be carried by the wind,
“Then, Mother, whenever you hear this song the wind brings,
“Loath me you may, yet my heart still hopes for springs…
“Not for me,
“But for you to see…
“I shall always pray for you,
“And watch you from a place far away from earth, distant far,
“As far as the place where born were dreams and stars…
“That is the only deed I could do…
“Let it be known, although mind keeps on forgetting,
“Shan’t over Lethe River my raft float,
“My pearl will lie still on the shore of my heart,
“Do believe,
“You shall never be alone,
“For in laughter and grieve,
“My love shall always flow…
“Let it be then Time passes and Eternity stands still,
“For what is there shall be a part,
“Forever that I feel,
“As everything changes as everything passes…
“Good night, dear beloved Mother,
“I wish you happiness and joy...
“I shall take my place among the stars and watch over you while you are sleeping,
“I shall offer eternity,
“A quasar stays afar unsurpassed.
“Do forget me, Mother,
“My presence to you is merely a burden.
“Yet heaven witness, my love stays eternal in fidelity…”

...Kisses and hugs,

Your unborn child...
