AND I DEDICATE THIS WIN TO MY MOM AND SIS
For being born as a woman, God blessed me
With a tiny cute angel in my womb
Fulfilling the birthright of a woman
The Sweet days of motherhood bloomed
And I treasured those to the highest degree
Her sweet touches and punches are the one
Those made me fly high into the sky
The more she played
the more
she made
me happy
the more I
treasured!
intolerable
pain it was
with love, I carried her into this world
and with tears, I gifted her to God's heaven
the pain was worse as it filled my heart with
tears and it became a hobby
I requested my angel
'Oh my angel rest your wings
Stay with me for a while
I will feed you my milk
I will sing a lullaby for you
I will hold your hand for a while
And enjoy your tender smile
Why you have gone away?
Please come back to me
Please
Please'
the cry
of a mother
-
“The Lost World”
PS: My mom dedicated this poem to my lost sister. She lived in this awful world for just four days. My mom dictated this poem in Tamil and I translated it. . I have to say, ‘My Mom is a precious angel found in this earth’.

Beautifully written. The pain in one's heart is often worse than any physical discomfort.
ReplyDeleteOh thats really sad .. Its really heart wrenching to know this, and I can just imagine how your mother would have gone through this , and you have highlighted that in soft words that makes us sympathise with your mother .. Touching ..
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful and touching .
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeletea lovely little bit of concrete...sad words...that leave ache in the heart...
ReplyDeleteSo touching...I felt it...
ReplyDeletean ordinary moment
I know how painful it is to lose a loved one, but that suffering is probably nothing compared to the heart ache a mother goes through when she loses her precious child.
ReplyDeleteYour translation of your mother's work beautifully captures that agony.
this is beautiful poem and i love it
ReplyDeleteAny mother having experienced this would appreciate this cry - this song for the angel who took flight
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing with One Shot
