I am your child ohh my mother..
And these are my feelings you may never bother..
I searched your eyes among millions who gazed at me..
And longed for your touch just to know how it feels..
I have wrapped many (aunties) in my arms..
Just to feel and breathe your warmth..
I wonder mummy how you look...
Is it like my teacher or our cook...? ?
I never know why u left me...
Did i give you pain or was I too ugly? ?
The place you left me is a heaven truly..
They give me food and I go to school daily..
Not one or two but seventeen sisters I have..
And they love me as their lovely brother..
They call me sweet and cute and dear..
But it is you voice that I long to hear..
My childhood was a great plight..
Without any cookies and delight.
Dark lonely nights rocked my cradle..
Strange hands held me when I paddled..
Mummy....my days are black and grey..
I wish you add colour one day..
Come to my school, playground or market..
You will find a lad with royal blue jacket..
Just look at him once and call ‘ MY DEAR ‘
Hug him so hard and melt away his fear..
Don't give him toffee or an ice-cream.
just let him rest back in your womb..
The place most safe and secure..
Before you truly forever disappear
