The Incredible Love
Son,
When you decided
To say good bye
To your lonely dwelling place
Of darkness
Your first cry
Announcing your royal entry
In to this elegant world,
I felt it as a roar
Against the callous
Who'd been giving
Nightmares
To your helpless dad.
But my son,
My everest mounted gladness
Soon began to see dark clouds.
The self same vultures
Who'd been piercing their painted nails
Into your papa's brain
Might harm you too.
It was me who culled a sweet name for you.
'Cause I wouldn't be satisfied
With worn out ones by over use.
But my fear was such that
I concealed your musical name from them.
Lest I be phoo_phooed.
But when they jointed hands
My kith and kins
To frighten you
And to make you flee,
My days became tearfully
And nights sleepless.
Oh the pain of my soul!
How do these wicked know
To whom children are only byproducts!!
Son,when my piece of life
Was separated from me
I,having left alone
Resorted to singing.
Those were flames from my heart.
But those fools took them
As a mad man's way_ward utterances.
But some mysterious power was at work.
I am ascending foot steps of world's glory
One by one,
My soul ,only to prepare way for you,
Even as Jhon the Baptist
Came to prepare way for jesus
