You, My Mother  (inspired by the writing of Nawaaz Ahmed)

What a view, what a sight

The faintest sign of light

Glowing pink and warm

Through you, my home

My mother



I feel you in this place

Though I've never seen your face

We're so close

We're one

Together



You're alive out in the world

Anticipating my birth

Waiting to see whose eyes I have

 

What will I bring to your life?

Am I the reason you became a wife?

You don’t know this is the best it will ever be

 

Is this the only way I'll know you, my mother?

Is this the the only way we will ever get along?

How beautiful we are now to each other

I hope you listened well, because this was your love song
