Mother

In the dark dawn, I saw a lovely face ,                                                                                   Was she my mother, father or someone else ? ,                                      The familiar face looked at me so deep and close                                 She kissed me on my small forehead.                                                       
                                                                                                                            Oh, what a spontaneous touch It was!  ,                                                         It brought me into the conscious world,                                                       I realised the meaning of real birth ,                                      
And my face had blossomed like a flower .                            
                                                                                                                            She gently took me and put me in her lap ,                                                       I became a chick under motherly protection,                                                Oh god, what a wonderful affection she had ,                       
Like a mother hen that hatched her first chick .                
                                                                                                      
She spelled something into my little ear,                            
What was she trying to tell me? ,                                                                   I didn't know because I was an infant,                                                                 And I knew only to see, sense and suck.
