you were a wet lump of mud
in front of me
i gave you shape
i gave you
a mild shape first
when you took your first steps
then i gave you a good curve
when you smiled even when you were sad.
i gave a smooth finish
when your teacher told me
what a good human you were
but now
when you are about to dry
did i give you a curve of love?
was i good parent
O! child , don't leave me
you were a wet ***
but now you are a free bird.
fly
fly
make me proud.
