A Consolation In Desperation

When I touched the earth

Something wrapped me by showering warmth

When struggling to open the eyes

An astounding kiss made them wet.

Though I was surrounded by contemplation, resentment and screaming

She clad me spreading her torn clothes 

And clasped me by her shivering arms

And whispered near my ears "Daughter, don't worry."

Though the scorching summer was cruel

Though the torrential rain was so rude

Though the bone-chilling cold was hard

Still, nothing could vanquish her vow to make her daughter happy.

When success betrayed me and I was about to give up

Her teary eyes revealed her inner desire and infused hope to wage the battle

Her trembling hands taught me to work hard till success is not achieved 

And ultimately success touched my feet.

Mom!

If god asks me about my desire 

I will pray to him to make you immortal 

You are my strength 

You are my hope 

You are my inspiration in desperation.
