I light a torch and hold it high
It shines so bright it lights the sky
You see the light, you know it's me
You find the strength and set yourself free
From the pain and sorrow you've felt of late
Your heart now softens, gone is the hate
Two becomes one across the miles
We begin our journey to do the trials
Set out for us to complete
Each one we know we can defeat
At the end we know for sure
Standing side by side hearts are pure
We fought the bad and won hands down
Good prevails and wears the crown

I asked someone
In a serene manner,
"Why so serious?"
I received a full throated reply,
"Should I act like a child then,
The way you do!?"
I gave a poise reply
With a gentle smile,
*"I certainly do not act like a child,
But the child within
Teaches me to live,
Not to simply survive."

You are everything**
You are the sea, which helps me to sail.
You are my umbrella, which protects me from the rain.
You are the medicine, curing internal pain
You are the courage, giving me your hand as not to fail.
You are my soul, cooling me down
You are the power, which I feel
I wish you lived forever
The love master
Embrace me! I believe on you
The corners-tone of my career.
You are the shade blessed by the divine
The loved queen…
You are the land
A place of livelihood
You are the educator
Care taker…
You are the icon of existence
The source of joy and happiness
You are the brain
The body machine
If I was a painter,
I could have portrayed you
All over..
If I was a magician
I could have put you, deep in the hearts.
Yes!... you are the love guardian
Blessed me again
To see the bright future
Mother
I wish you lived forever.
