My Dearest Mother
To you my dearest mother…
When the sunshine wakes you up
Open the window
Let yourself look at the stunning light that came in
There, today’s hope is painted
Do not you further question it, ‘What is the suffering of today?’
As to you it would replied ‘Maam, this life always has a surprise…’
When you hear the chirping of morning birds flying around
Do not you further ask them, ‘What was the matter of yesterday?
As to you, they would replied ‘Maam, all that have passed are past..’
When you see that warm sunset over the west sky
Do not you further lament, ‘What will tomorrow bring?’
As to you it would replied ‘Maam, who knows about tomorrow?’
When the cold of the night tickles you
Do not you ask it again, ‘Why does life has to become so?’
As to you would it say, ‘Maam, that’s all, let me embrace you in a restful dream…’
My dearest mother…
In the end, everything will come to the light
Let yourself play with the tranquility of heart
Whereas here in this distant, my heart remains chanting the praying for you….
