MY MOTHER-8
Today is your day my mother
But with me you are no more
For the first time, I am in a sea of sorrow
Searching for you hither and thither
Finding you nowhere except in my tears
Tell me my mother!
How to find those feet turned into ashes,
Mingled in oblivion to offer flowers of my love.
I know not whether you reciprocate
My feelings, emotions and adoration
But I venture to write something
It has been my habit since years
Let me gather you from the whole of the universe
And put my heart at the feet of yours
When I was a child
You told me stories of the scriptures
Every woman is an incarnation of the divine mother.
You always insisted to see your replica in women
Not to look at her with a guilty mind
And faulty conscience
These are your words sacred
The foundation of life
From which I hadly deviated
Hope there will be any deviation
The way you groomed your grandchildren
They will carry the legacy forward
With character and conviction
My mother!
Help me to accomplish your wishes
Without Lord Krishna
The Gandiva of Arjun was meaningless
Bless us to renovate
Our village house built on my father's sweat
Serve our family deity Lord Basudev with love and devotion
Gurudev and three temples built by my father great
As you wished
With our village, we will stay connected
All the rituals and festivals will be as before
All those you loved will be in my eye
Leave no stones unturned to justify your blood
Flowing in me
Your statue will be by my father's side
Where we will sit and seek your blessings
Everything will be as usual
But life will be never as before
I know for sure
You are in another form
In a different dimension
Merged in the divine mother
Since Maa Kali has absorbed you
She will be with me as my mother
So also all the mothers
In every nook and corner
In every spring and winter
Rain and summer
Every day and night, minute and second
I will be in the lap of you my mother divine
My mother! I have seen you in all
And all in you
I hope my mothers all over will never let me down
Bless me! I will have no problem in identifying
BOU! ACCEPT MY AGONY AND TEARS
THE WAY YOU ACCEPTED MY SMILE AND LOVE
