I am searching for you everywhere,
But I haven't found you, though I am aware,
That I wouldn't find you, how much I cry,
And how hard and often I pray.
The warm body of yours became the past,
When you were separated from my life,
As the cold clouds disappear and
the scorching sun appears,
cruel destiny intruded in our life.
We are the clouds in everyone's life,
To protect them and shower them with love,
But you did not have that opportunity,
To shower us with love.
The bugs were eating you slowly.
You are the missing part during my growth,
You have become my guardian angel in a stroke,
Still I am searching for you in every mother, whom I see,
Sometimes I see you carrying the child with care,
Sometimes I observe you worrying too wide and far,
Sometimes I notice you protective of your brood,
But always I am missing you and searching for you until I die.
