Mother Nature

The roof of the sky over my head,
Like caring hands of a father,
Shower grace all the time

And,
The bed of grass under my feet,
Like warm lap of a mother,
Shower love on me…

“Where are they now?
Lost in the mist?”
I don’t know
I’m imprisoned in the four walls of my own house
Musing over my lost parents…

My heart sobbed, and a thrill of pain
Run though my cold blood,
I screamed and awoke
From the nightmare.

Thank God!
You showed me the future…a child without parents
A barren land and a colorless life.

Oh Mother Nature, I will serve you!
