Thousand of thoughts emerged
In my mind when I floated
The basket into river water
I cried a lot thereafter
I do not know where it will take you
I also failed to judge what was true
Was it an escape route from inner soul?
I shall go to almighty and crawl
“Lord, I did sin to save honor”
I left child in flowing river water
I know child will be safe in your hands
Will there be a tragic or happy end?
I could not resist
The move to desert
Yet mother from inside rebelled
“Coward or heartless” I may be labeled
I shall pray forever
For safety and well being there
You shall flourish and breathe under safe cover
I shall pray more and more however
Had that been no compulsion?
I could have taken courageous stand without confusion
I feared a blot for me and on you as well
I shall repent whole life for it to tell
Many more mothers may be like me
Not independent and bold enough to feel free
I can not be called bold as it was an immoral act
But I shall remain “Mother” to be considered for real fact
keaobaka mmmhhh, sounds like a grieved mother indeed. so sorry
