A word for my child

I dedicate this to my children, Bobo and LuLu

A word for my child

Dear little one

There you sit all alone,

Your tiny fingers wrapped around,

The rattle you love most,

You roll around your wooden cradle,

Trying to reach far above.

You are amused,

To hear me speak.

You smile in glee,

At your own shadow.

My little magician,

I am enchanted by your feat.

You listen hard to the hum

Your innocent eyes searching around

Not knowing where I could be.

I hold you in my arms,

See your eyes twinkling

Silently assured, to have me near.

One day you’ll go out, my little one,

Face the world on your own,

Man is cruel in his action

For greed and desire burn in him;

For many men have fallen prey

To this malady.

Oh! How it aches my heart.

But you, my little one

Should shield your innocence, from this lust

And learn to walk the path of the blessed one,

For it is He who leads men,

When they transcend to another world.

So when death lay his hands on me,

Your thoughts may wonder;

Why can’t you stay?

My dear child,

I am just a soul, no one

 Has ever cheated Him.

Be brave my child,

Let your heart listen to the wise,

Let the wise light the dark,

Let action speak your words,

Let words be your Armour,

Then no more shall you seek me,

For you are ready,

My little one.

Lots of Love 

Ama
