I wish I were a seasonal bird,
That travels flying around the world,
With sweet companionship of a partner,
Whose heart knows nothing except,
...
Sometimes life gives us severe shock,
Undermines the plans and does block,
The ways of wisdom leading ahead,
Reveals the hands that secretly mock.
...
A paragon of patience,
A model of sacrifice,
Clad in clothes,
Rough, drab and dull.
...
When indelible memories of the past,
Torment my heart and mind; I write.
When mist floats in front of the eyes,
...
