Beloved - Buhiu B Lam (BA 6th Semester)

The day I was born was the greatest day for you.
With joy you introduced me to the world.
Alas, you didn't wait to celebrate my first birthday.
The thought of you brings tears to my eyes.
Forever you are etched in my heart.

They tell me of your kindness, gentleness,
They tell me how you cared.
It hurts me and I envy... I missed all your goodness.
A night with you in my dreams is the happiest of all.
Wish to go on dreaming, but the dawn doesn't permit.

On cloudless nights I look up at the sky,
And there I watch the stars twinkle.
I sing my evening song to them,
I know you are in their midst.
I wait for your lullaby to wish me goodnight.

My friends all greet and gift,
Their kind mothers on this good day.
I always wish to give you the best I can.
I mournfully wonder why the heavens took you away.
Tales of your love for me heal me.

Seasons change, years pass, things renew,
But my hope in you stays the same.
Watch me...
Protect me...
I love you mom.
