If the breeze comes like a friend
It may blow my hair backwards
Like my hubby once said to me
Look up
Be fresh and healthy, happy and cheerful
It may blow my hair meshy and untidy
Like my naughty and curious grandchildren
Moving here and there
Turning things over and over
It may blow gently on my hair
Like my old mother always
Put her hands on my shoulders
Patting and soothing me
When I was small
Now whenever I feel
The presence of the breeze
I think of my loved ones
And the happy days together

Mango was sweet and sour,
The juice was plenty,
And began to pour,
Flesh was fleshy,
And also very meshy,
Consumed nothing remained,
Hard seed was forlorn with juice drained,
Skin was vestigial,
Thrown in a waste fall,
Life is like that sweet and sour,
With lot of juice,
Soon it is consumed,
Hard seed is called the dead,
deeply interred,
and it lived was presumed.
