Even in this mature age As I turn a new life-page I ask myself again Who am I to begin?
The only truth I know To my mother I bow I am my mother's daughter That's for sure That identity of mine is purely pure
I gave my mother everything - my heart and soul She was my goddess, I gave her flowers in a bowl I told, Ma, tell me of anything you lack She asked instead what can I give you back? She gave me 'faith' 'my priceless inheritance' With money one could never buy this substance
Faith kept me strong All life long As strong as a woman can be I roamed the earth all life long Like a tiger fearless and free.
Ma laughed, clapped, said, that is the way it should be Thank goodness my inheritance is not A tiny room with toiletry. My Ma told me you deserve more than a room More than a house More than a palace As much as my two arms can embrace With her arms the whole world she could embrace That is what my inheritance. Only faith could make it happen I inherited the world To make my soul immensely bold Shine my mind like gold.
It is peaceful to think Now Ma is in heaven, together with God Who takes care of Ma The way he does with a Diva.
When the shuktara star blinks at night I know Ma is winking with delight. We communicate all the time Star to human the phone doesn't cost a dime I am my mother's daughter I know for sure It is purely pure.
Last year since Ma died I feel lost Ma said from heaven Look at your side you will see my shadow Ma never left because she is dead She is with her daughter Till her daughter's end That comforts me With open eyes I see The shadow by my side Where my Ma stands with pride.
