My Happy Place

There's a place where I long to go...

Where the wind is calm and the waters slow...

Where my kite flies without restraint...

Where I can color the world with my favorite paint...

Where there is no one to judge me for who I am...

Where I can be as innocent as the suckling lambs...

A child in a rich family, touring the world!

I had all I wanted but I got no love...

The biological sibling got the hugs and the kisses...

I got a pot of gold, but it was love I was missing...

No chance to hug my mom to sleep...

Or a chance to hold my father's finger...

Just an observer to the laughter they shared...

With their biological daughter, my sister...

Where do I hide? Where do I go?

Where's my happy place? Tell me if you know?

It was my Didi Tanya, who filled that void...

Rebuilt the heart my mother destroyed...

Open arms welcoming me into my Didi's breasts...

My pillows where I lay my head to rest...

Her tender voice filled with unending love...

My angel, my god, sent from above...

Though she's gone back to her heavenly home...

She has never let me feel alone...

Every night I still feel her warm embrace...

Her arms will forever be, my "Happy Place"
