Mother To All Men
Mother To All Men
SHE has arrived, as usual
Without fail and
With her four children
Bringing cheer to men women
Durga wife of Lord Shiva
Every year takes
A ten-day sabbatical
To be with us on this planet
A state of euphoria prevails
SHE'S Harbinger of Good
SHE'S Destroyer of evil
And when SHE'S immersed
In the Ganges, the river
Weeps in sadness
Another one year before
She descends bringing
Joy, filling the hearts of humans.
