MY MOTHER IN THE STARS

When I came to the earth from heaven,
Fall upon the hands of an angel,
Took me up in the air of love,
And filled my world with joy & affection…

I grew up in the hands of the angel,
With stories of warriors, kings and demons,
Frightened I hold her tight,
With the hand of care over my hairs…

But soon the angel left me alone,
Some says she has gone to god,
Some says she is still living in the stars,
But why can’t I see her with my eyes,
Touching me again to make me delight…

Is she really seeing me from the top,
Then why can’t she come down,
To kiss me on my head,
To make me sleep on her lap,
To see me blushing with the joy of her presence,
Screaming her name at every time of solance…

I know you are always with me,
Sitting with me in every moment
Of cry, joy, laughter and sorrow,
Believing in your name I walk the path so narrow…

Are you living fine in the stars,
Is god really taking care of,
Anxieties still build up in my soul,
Making the bond stronger between us…

I know you are holding my hand,
To guide me wherever I stand…

A day will come when we would be one,
That day indeed will be the day,
When I fight you back from heaven…

May your star always shine,
But my mother,
You are just and just mine…
