'poem'

It must be the breast milk, 
When I am a child of silk. 

It must be my mother, 
If I need care and affection. 

It must be my father, 
To protect me from dangers. 

It must be my teacher, 
To protect me from evils. 

It must soothe my mind, 
If I am in trouble. 

It must be a remainder, 
If I am overjoyed. 

It must be a comforter, 
If I am uncomfortable. 

It must be a boxer, 
To knock out my weakness. 

It must be a fish swimmer, 
Swims with me to the treasure. 

It must be my supporter, 
If my legs begin to fall. 

It must be a beginner, 
If something strikes my mind. 

It must be a consoler, 
If I was hurt by someone more. 

It must be a partner, 
In all my failures to share. 

It must be my enemy, 
Make me ready to share my  'Ego'. 

Finally,  it must be a Tsunami, 
To take me to the pool of death. 

It must be here with others, 
To enjoy the greatness of thoughts!

Before Tsunami, life is beautiful. There is a movie with a similar name. Touching, amassing and good poem-meditation.
