Time has blown you away from me
like strong winds,
I hope you don't forget
how we flee father's roof
and endured shames and hope
but mother has tried
was it easy for a woman!
why do you have to go?

It seems like it was only yesterday
when we were kids
you held my hands
helped me to the Teacher, next day
Teacher helped me to the classroom
Classroom brightens my darkest room.

Weren't I stubborn!...
