As pale as the sheet On which you lie And me without tears Within myself cry Trying hard to match your smile Knowing you’re here for a short while. It was from here I took you home A bundle, my own flesh and bone Smiling at your toothless grin The fruit of what I carried within Your being filled up my sorry life A mother now, not just his wife. He left you alone in my care To take you away he wouldn’t dare And through the years I watched you grow Both mother and the father you didn’t know You are such a bubbly girl You managed to set my world awhirl. I’ll take you home again my love While you travel to your home above Bundled in white like once before This is what fate has in store From the clouds you’ll look down upon me A lonely mother’s empty lap you’ll see. ~Sumaitri~
