What a beautiful sight it must have been...
The day the heavens decided to send their precious angel on earth..
The heavens must have decked up in galore..
Happy to see their angel descend on earth..
I know you must have left your light behind ..
Lest the others on earth recognize you...
The heavens wanted to test them ..
Wanted if you were accepted by all..

Simple by nature..
Dusky as the evening sky when it bids the day a goodbye..
Glowing in your mother's arm...
How sad it was for you...
When your father looked the other way..
Not happy as you were born...

You grew up into a beautiful woman..
Kind hearted and genuine...
Soft yet with a strong mind...
How hard it must have been for you...
When you're father looked for reasons not to see you,
You hid behind curtains..
To admire the man who never could accept you,

Married to the most simplest man..
Who stood by you..
At the worst of situations,
With meagre possession you started your married life..
You struggled to make ends meet...
Blessed with your first born..
You became close to your father,
Who had packed you up to a boarding school afar...
How beautiful was the moment when
you held your first born in your arms..
And held by your father who was happy ..
To have you as his child..
Realising you were worth a million sons,
Beauty is skin deep..
Beauty that you were part of him....

An angel is always an angel,
No matter whether on earth or in heaven...
How can angels walk on earth with wings..
The angel has gone now...
Your light is left behind...
On those whose lives you had touched...



Happy Birthday Ma..
