a rough hand touches my palm coldly
the same hand wipes off the tears that flow warm
down my cheeks and a soft whisper says
stay clam and the pain will go away!
a strong hand shows me a glass of cold milk
and gently rubs my head, i drink and tummy is cool once again!
i am hurt and i cry alone in the bathroom,
the floor is cold and there is a sick feeling in the chest!
ur eyes turn red and then u hear a strong knock on the door.. u wash off the tears and try a smile on, wipe clean, open the door and walk past the shadow and say, u can use the bathroom now...
the rough hand holds u and takes u to the bedroom,
the shadow talks into ur ear and says.. who was mean to u today?
u trip over ur own feet and fall onto ur knees,
onlookers laugh at ur clumsiness, one strong hand pulls u to sit on the floor and the shadow moves the knees and kisses it... the pain somehow vanishes, the breathe whispers once again.. it went away didnt it?
the dentist jus got mad at u for not being a good kid and that u ate too many chocolates, the pain jus wont fade away after screaming ur lungs out....
and there is one hand that hands u a cone ice cream!
u find urself lost... in the woods.. searching for atleast a shadow..
u hear wolves howl.. u cry as u cant find a soul...
then a rough hand touches ur shoulders and pulls u close to it..
and u hear it say...
its jus a dream baby,
i am here for u! stay calm, sleep now!
u now walk down the aisle and u r now before the face that will bind u for life with a stranger, u look for a familiar face franctically and heart beats faster with fear... then a whisper behind u says, the stranger is nobody but someone who will take care of u like i did, so relax and smile.
And u smile cos u knw that the shadow that whispers is the one that got u through these years and made u alive... those assuring words make u look at the stranger with jus as much confidence as u did look at life with her by ur side!
Mother's are special, as God couldn't be everywhere. Some don't get all that love... so take care of her jus as she did take care of u!
