I Plead
I Plead
Calling from inside you
I could only reach as far as your deaf ears
you,a mother,turned to stone,
who else would comfort me ,come hither|| ||
Scores of dreams in my expectant eyes
all to fill your lap with joy
Can’t wait a moment more to see the world
mother,let me go out and play|| ||
Divine,it would be,oh mother
to walk with you ,hand in hand
Oh how glad,you shall be to see me realize your dreams
as if with a magic wand || ||
From a dainty bud to my brightest bloom
I shall grow one day
but how cruel you are mother
to plan to have me brushed away||
How unjust it is of you
to contemplate leaving me in mortal pain
Hassled you are of the thought
your womb nurtures a fellow woman|| ||
Burdensome I will be
was all your mind could conjure
So gutted you were to imagine
my premature marital pyre|| ||
Call you mother ,see the world
was it so much to ask for
you take all the blame
God knows it,rest assure || ||
His court will question you
yes ,that day will come
what will your reply be mother
for the sin that you have done|| ||
A girl child I was
made your womb my home
Motherhood,I gave you
a mother,you could never become|| ||
