Motherless World

That night, when face to face
With a terrible reality
I wanted to cry out
Say that it was unfair,
That I needed you
A little longer
To hold my hands for me.

Then I saw fate
Standing in the dark recess
Of the hospital corridor
With a silent smile on his face,
I squeezed back the tears
And took the first step forward
To meet him in a motherless world!
