To My Dear Mother

Every dusk and dawn, I ask my God for a boon:
“Please let me have my mother for as long as I live.”
When I wished to see the sun, she took me in her womb and brought me to this earth.
When I wished to smell the flowers, she gave me her breathe and lead me to the gardens.
When I wished to chase the bees, she held my hand and taught me to walk.
When I wished to love and feel, she gave me her soul and taught me to care.
When I wished to spread my wings and fly, she gave me her strength and showed me the skies.
When I wished to see another world, she gave me her dreams and let me go.
And now I wish to sleep, “God, please lead me back to her womb.”
