I'm tired and I'm going home
it's getting dark and really cold
you were nice, a good company
now I'm must return to my valley.
Your tales kept loneliness at bay,
I was so sad, you made me so gay.
but my heart yearns for my family,
they wait for me all day impatiently.
Try as I might I no longer can stay,
my children need me more today,
we have to face a terrible tragedy,
their mother passed away yesterday.
My heart bleeds to see them weep
Her death has cut us all too deep
She was taken away by lung disease
To love again we must learn to forgive.
She was a devoted woman to me
a loving mother and a wise lady
She said my children will in time see
how God takes as much as He gives.
To live, laugh and love freely
never be afraid to part company,
what will be will be, and what was
can never be taken away from me.
Close
achi, peace, brother. :-))

Heyyy Mojo...
yep.. i was kinda concerned... maybe... as i always do for people i know and don't both.. anyways ... tht dosn matters...
Sad to know about the death.... yeah! i too feel angry and helpless with life's destined reality tht we have to face someday or the other... i get scared too... thinking of loosing my closed ones....
TIME always speaks what you want to... with its own set of flow... u took long.. neva matters... we all need some perfect time to do the perfect things...
Satisfaction is what we assume.... don't take it from the head... look inside ur heart... and maybe you will feel the satisfaction... its for you to have... no one else can give it to you... no one...!!
cheers!

achi, you sounded concerned. ":-) I am touched. Thanks for that. I am wonderfully well and positively happy. At the moment, at least. :-) This post is dedicated to a young mother who passed away because of lung cancer. A mother I have never met but yet known for a while. When death does things like I feel angry for a moment. At the unfairness of it all. I don't think I did justice to the emotion I felt. Maybe I took too long to put it all on paper. I don't know. I don't feel satisfied with the result...:(( not really. But then, I never do!! :-))

soumya, the fact that such a question arises in your mind is proof enough to the emotional power of the post. Or may I so believe. :-)) Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate it.

sceptic, my reader's doubt is valid. I admit. May I say that let's just enjoy art for art's sake. :-) I am glad to see you here. Thank you for taking the time.

It is not even Mother's day and we were going to wait up for the biriyani - mama's and wifey's show...and you pulled the curtain?
Well... a man gotta do what he's gotta do - write blogs in your case :)))
Does "now I'm must return to my valley." mean you are going away from bloggin ...?
Yea, what belongs to you - rightfully belongs to you - no one can take that away from you or for that matter ME or anyone else...
Happy journey... although I could imagine there is a tinge of melonchaly in this ...
This part is a gem!
To live, laugh and love freely
never be afraid to part company,
what will be will be, and what was
can never be taken away from me.
