A child comes home!
A CHILD COMES HOME!
A Child has come home today after years
After suffering and shedding lots of tears,
Hoping to get back the love she lost
From the family that had her tossed and almost crossed.
Abandoned by her grandparents and mother
She comes to them now with a bother,
Would I be accepted, loved and gain?
Or be disappointed with this family once again.
Not knowing the answer to her query,
All she knows is to think positive and not be wary,
Leaving everything to the god Almighty,
She hopes to never again face anguish and anxiety.
Hoping to somehow compensate for the lost love and time
She hopes to savor and make every moment prime,
Believing that this family which disowned her before
Would now give back respect, Kindness and love galore.
Accepting her sufferings and anguish as karma of her last birth
She comes to the family to give love and share her beautiful mirth
Bestowing the greatest gift of forgiveness upon them,
She becomes an enlightened soul, whose goodness overwhelms.
