O Mother!

By Jitesh Padmakumar Shah

Since thou departed on the path of heaven,

Thou art in my heart, O Mother, don't run

Whenever come any obstacles in my life-way,

Thou ever save me, thou art my sun-ray!

Still I remember thy sweet - kinder songs,

And for thy love and kisses my mind even longs!

Thou caress me, thou fondle me and make me sleep,

My heart ever wishes and for thou I always weep!

Alas! Thy love isn't, my luck, O Mother,

The more I grow, the more I am empty and I wither !
