LOOKOUT
Sings
overwhelmed life ashore,
Knew
as an orphan, adopted long ago,
Grew
in flourished, educated society,
Refined
culture English my tongue,
Completing
graduation in literature,
Write
often my feelings, perceptions,
Growing
provided maturity surprised me,
So
much love, adopted mother caring,
Never
could know necessity she knows,
Keeps
precisely in order surprises me,
My
sickness remembers her infinite care,
Mom
and I alone in the big world,
She
is all in my life, her only son link,
Our
lives intermingled close contented,
Tell,
she prepares the dishes I liked well,
Observe
minutely happiness swells,
Her
pleasure my study health, happiness,
Think,
how come, Lord was graceful for me,
Decades
ago visited the ancient land,
She,
in her visit to an orphanage, chose me,
I
grew in her lap from just a year old,
Life,
I confess, fortunate, she confided,
Thankful
to her, know my origin, land,
Unknown
to me, the people, the panorama,
My
friend and teachers do not know this,
The
friendly gestures, love, and bond,
Realize
me the country is supreme,
Wonderful
people, families, children,
The
family somehow choked me once,
An
orphan child who leaves her son, reason,
What
happened died on accident a family,
Left
only a bay living kept orphanage,
Divorced
a couple, separated, of course,
Dropped
the child in a shelter home,
Perused
their future forgotten baby,
Sheltered
for nine months in the womb,
How
is it possible a mother allows,
Watch
her baby is separated, sleeps,
It
is the unwanted child of an unmarried girl,
Or
forced her to be pregnant, left,
Left
her son on a dustbin, railway platform,
Or
pavement of a road at night chosen,
Sat
near the harbor on a bench,
I
felt tears running warm in a stream,
Why?
why does human civility humanity dies,
Leaves
a newborn baby know very well,
Speechless,
entangled my mind to one,
Where
is my mother, given birth to me,
Where
is she? Why did she leave me? a fate,
Where
must be she is living, how is she,
It
choked me and involuntarily uttered, Ma,
Alone
on the big harbor road mid-day,
Crying
bitterly, surprised, why, I am crying,
So
much love, mom is everything to me,
I
am her life, understand she trusts me,
Returned
home and told her the lookout,
She
hugged me, kissed me, confessed,
Baby,
I am your mother but a woman,
Understands
your curiosity, pain,
Go
and search to find your mother,
Come
back soon, home after meeting her,
vast
is the country, a billion people,
Lookout
for my Ma, know the orphanage.
