Weeping Heart and a Lonely Star

I was gazing at the vast grey sky this evening Slowly and heavily dark clouds were floating As they were about to shed their tears weeping My red watery eyes blinking Suddenly saw you, through the clouds peeping So bright and happily shinning When no one is around don’t you feel lonely, or Is it your sorrowful heart that is transformed to the clouds gloomy? Have they absorbed your tears away from you quickly? Is it how you can shine so brightly? I too am so lonely; I feel my place is so small and empty In this large world as large as your sky infinity Yesterday to see us all came a lady pretty and kind She lifted my face with her lovely fingers and smiled, In between, her high sigh “oh!”I heard When she saw my polio legs braced She quickly passed me to hold the hand of my best friend Tucking my friend in her arms smiled broad At times I dream a mother whom I have never seen When I am cold, how I crave for her cuddle with kisses on my cheeks I sit in the verandah in my ‘home’ behind a screen Seeing a father passing by with a laughing child holding an ice-cream Oh! How I long for a father to hold my hand even in my dreams Are you an orphan like me little star, though you gleam? Do you wish for sisters and brothers when you are lonesome? So that you can dance with them, sing with them Play hide and seek among the wooly clouds with them Even if I have, how can I? I am struck in my fate I cannot fathom My friend must be missing me or maybe now I am forgotten Like her, Some day,other friends too will have their moms to love them But me....?
