What a day of sorrow it was!
The day my child went away.
They say I never feel pain.
And from where I come, there is no weeping.
But, as I saw my child fading out of sight,
Pain clouded my heart.
And tears filled my eyes.
What a moment of sadness it was!
The moment my child thought of leaving me.
I heard the sound of his steps as my child walked away.
I listened till I could hear no more.
I could feel the pain of him breaking away from me.
Our bond was that strong, like the very trinity.
What a time of cold grief it was.
The time when my child was no longer with me.
What hurts me the most?
Knowing what awaited him, he knew where he was going.
What hurts me even more?
Knowing that I could not protect him,
From the danger that was anxious to devour him.
But,
What was will be again.
Even though he left me,
I will never leave him.
I hold on to the day he returned
even though he gave up on me,
I will never give up on him.
I cling on tight to the sound of his laughter.
The way he sang and danced for me,
The look on his face as he looked up to me,
The way he always desired to be with me, as I always desired to be with him,.
I know he hears my cries.
The whisper of my voice is calling to him.
What a day of joy it shall be!
It will be a moment of unending happiness.
A time of great triumph it shall be,
When will he return to me?
What was, will be again…
