AMMA [MOTHER ]
While you were burning your soul shedding light
Blind I was truly to your everyday plight
Satisfied living in soft shadows of life’s comfort
Stir I didn’t my feelings to ease your hurt
While you were sanctifying your time with sacrifice
Heartless I was to your voice of cries
Elated traveling in path of life’s short success
Pause I didn’t a moment to soothe your distress
Repent I do now but it’s too late
Live I do but with so much hate
Boundless is my grief floating on agitated emotion
Solace I find seeing you in my horizon
While you were engrossed building path of truth
Unemotional I was to your pain of wrath
Content with my escapades in my life’s journey
Open I didn’t my heart to abate your agony
While you were showering your love in fervent
Thoughtless I was to your endeavors of predicament
Delighted with pleasures on hand forgetting life’s duty
Give I didn’t my time to eradicate your adversity
Regrets I have plenty whispering in the wind
Sorrow filled heart sinking slowly in the quicksand
Untold is my grief belated in my perception
Redemption I find seeing you in my horizon
While you were sprinkling your affection in abundance
Oblivious I was to your benefaction of prudence
Scornful with little knowledge ignoring your endless entreaty
Kind I wasn’t in deeds to end your perplexity
While you were building a world of compassion
Nonchalant I was to your purpose and contention
Appeased with self turned a deaf ear
How I wish you could be standing here
Cry I do in silence thinking of you
Wishing endlessly that you come into my view
Fool I am unsuspecting of life in motion
Atonement I feel seeing you in my horizon
