WHERE are YOU MOM?

                                                              Where are you, mom?

I was crawling around you.

I was sleeping on your lap,

Our cattle cat is missing,

My little heart is crying.

 

Where are you, mom?

I saw you cuddling me in the garden – now.

The garden is left like a dud,

My fish pond is filled with blood,

Oh! The days become a burden.

 

Where are you, mom?

I watched a hundred cannons walking into our room.

The firing balls fly into your loom,

My friends became prey to the hungry guns,

I was alone watching the angry sun.

 

Where are you, mom?

I looked at the silver stone coming,

It stopped and reran,

I was happy to be touched by the stone,

But I escaped from the danger zone

 

Where are you, mom?

The chilling air passed away,

The crypt is on my way,

Where are you, mom?

Where I am mom?
