Song of a Mother

- to both my kids

Wish the time stand still for me,
Like it used to be when young;

Not to win a single day,
Of Nostalgic old memories.
Nor for fear of growing grey,
Or for that of the mystic black.
Never again for a cup of tea,
With time forgotten kith or kin.

But to get a moment more,
With you my child just as you are;

Not a moment older or,
Not a moment younger.
To take in more and more of you,
Watch and sense the most of you.
To be with you dear all the time,
Just as precious as you are.

Wish the time stand still for me,
Just to watch you as you are !!
