A Girl Child'S Plea

With water cushion cuddling her,

Glistening like a pearl from an oyster,

With less time for the final show,

Here we have a baby girl's woe.

Mother, let me out, I wobble in fear,

Longing for the glimpse of the alluring world I hear,

Through the valley of the shadows of death,

I would nearly miss,

Let your undying love blow me a kiss.

For me, is it life inside a womb

Or death inside a tomb?

Do not sing me a death lullably,

Help me spread my wings and fly up high,

Suppressed by the gigantic waves of excruciating pain,

Drowning in a puddle of tears but all in vain.

An angel on Earth I promise to be,

Spare me father, I yearn for thee,

Hail thee O fearless one!

'Welcome abroad' would be said only by some.

For her, is it life inside a womb

Or death inside a tomb?
