I stood in a massive doorway
I had termed with my life
This journey was soulful
But alone I must strive…..
I saw a burning candle
in the darkness of the sea…..
I wanted home away from home
did it really want me???
I cradled my self to peace,
I knew the lullaby would be mine….
Now bereft my mother, I was a lonely child…….
But the candle that had lit me
had lighten up my room…
I found you staring at me
Indeed I saw a home away from home…
I wanted to hug you; take my mother’s wamth
But my childness yet so pampered, you became my strict mom…
I bit my lips to swallow that life might not be fair,
Coz everything around me, tortured me there….
You pricked my hurt cradle & rocked me off to sleep
and in my lullaby told me…….
“Mom has to be strong to not let you go weak…….”
