‘I Am Alone’

Thinking about children, there is another issue I would like to throw light on..Adoption. I will write my views on this issue in my next post but for now will like to sensitize us all by these few lines on the same:

‘I Am Alone’

Take me home, I say who hears?

Give me existence, shatter my fears

Fight for these for me is the same,

Home, family or even a name

No hands to wipe my tears

For bedtime stories yearn my ears

No eyes waiting when I’ll be home

No search, no worry where I roam

At dusk when I fear and close eyes

Can’t see a hand caressing my sighs

In dark, when scary thoughts occupy

Eyes seek all, nears and passer by

Must have harmed him or hit her in last life

So this time He gave me a ‘name’less, ‘dear’less life

I don’t have him who will guide, nor she who will care

Neither he or she who can pair up with me for all play

I am ready for his rebukes, will follow all her advice

Even lose in all games to him or her, be a loser not wise

But please take me home, I say who hears?

Give me an existence, shatter my fears

I aspire nothing else, won’t bother anymore

Please make me ‘your’ child, will wish for blessings from the core
