When I Was Born

My parents gave me life on my first birthday,
I wear no birthday suits on my body
And i was unclad in mind with no thoughts,
I saw things around,some lights glowing
And some cloths hanging from the rope,
Yet those things remained stranger to me,
I didn't know what actually they were
But they did conquered my feeble eyes,
I enjoyed watching light flickering
And cloths dancing along the tune of wind,
I was fed with the most yummy liquid
I cannot identify,a woman just gave me.
I could see a man standing besides me
As i was busy enjoying the fluid offered by the generous woman,
I could sense his rough hands 
Touching my heads with a smile on his face,
I could see some more eyes spying me,
They were talking i can't comprehend,
They were not so big like the man and the woman,
I was stupid, i didn't know woman was my mother and the man was my father,
Spying eyes were no strangers but my brothers and sisters.

This is so sweet Yedar. I imagine you are dealing with a translation site. Sometimes it does not always correctly translate into English but I was able to comprehend everything you wanted to convey. It is nice to know you. I love your country though I have never been able to visit. Aloha, Connie
