WEEP NOT MOTHER

From the dim distance the silence was broken
a mother's voice could be heard too
like one havng in her arms a baby.
to make her stop crying she sings
to make her happy at her she smiles
and her touch one could still feel from the distance.

They told us she stopped her cries
as soon as she first heard us cry
she rushed to have us on her side
in her arms even in her pain
because the fear to see us die
was gone even without a trace.

For giving us all we needed
our first food from within
when we lay under her jealous watch
wrapped in silky white linen,
the honour and pride beaming
from her face towards us.

Everything she did for us
some we acknowledged whereas
others caught our blind eye.
We will wipe your tears mother
your land well watered
now grows wealth unexploited.

Oh weep not wipe your tears
your crops gave double harvest
your barns now fully filled
will no more you wake
the early birds and their songs
for no more your time to work.

Oh smile and laugh aloud wipe your tears
enjoy the bliss what your
hands have created what your
mind has formed what your
eyes have watched and guarded
now the monarch of far and near.

Wherever your soul lies weep no more
for those tears of love you shed
on us like ripples still moving and spreading
across the circumference of our soul
and will last before the rainy day comes
even if the sun should set no more
