Lost Without a Mother

Here is my journey of Life, That all began With that first cry. My eyes shone in admiration, When my mother's loving, 'I-will-care-for-you' eyes I saw. Her tender touch That caress my super soft skin, Giving me hope That earth might just be like That paradise I'm coming from... Now here I stand, At the junction Of Life and death, Failure and success, Sorrow and joy; The right leads to success And the left leads to life, The back is darkened And the eagles are flying Right above the chick. Where am I to go? As all paths Are garden of thorns. Where is that hand, With the magic wand, That gave me hope Of heaven on earth? If she could just whisper to my ears and say, This is the way to go...
