Hear! Dawn orchestra
Milk, with unconditional love
Wake up time for school
Material wealth is fun
knowledge cannot be stolen
She was strict and firm
Simple life brings joy
greed and hatred defile mind
Mum was always clean.
Live with compassion
Do not wait till Autumn winds
Life is short and swift
First flight from my nest
Build your own, and make it strong
It's your task, she said
I had my firstborn
You nursed my exhausted self
Lectured on nature
Days became decades
Together we grew older
You were aging faster
Feeble and weary
End of journey, you whispered
Good bye, I love you
In silence you slept
In reverence I watched you
Returned to nature
