Sanctuary of Womb
In open playing fields on muddy ground,
little fight amongst us children abound.
Petty things would spark arguments to fight,
sans reason so hard to say who was right.
Friends suddenly stop talking, walk away,
forget all and play together next day.
Sad with torrential tears some may hurry,
to doting mums to seek sanctuary.
A loving hug, a kiss would quickly cure,
thrown with some loving lisps to just ensure.
Years roll by and age races past our mind,
warmth of her love is never left behind.
Decades since those quarrels on playing field,
even now in trouble I seek her shield.
Wisest of men, bravest in history,
in hard times have sought mum’s sanctuary!
At age sixty at life’s eddy current,
still seek wise light of my only parent!
