Who?
Darshan Jay Mistry 1998 (India)
Who brought you into this world?
Who thought you were a miracle?
Who fed you when you were hungry?
Who taught you to take your first steps?
Who made you laugh when you were down?
Who gave you a piggyback ride?
Who did you use to play hide-and-seek with?
Who used to find you under the table?
Who called you funny names?
Who said they loved you?
Who made you wear uniform?
Who found your missing sock?
Who tried to help you with your essays?
Who went to your school recitals?
Who needed you to pay attention?
Who felt you were daydreaming?
Who took you to travel the world?
Who got you your first car?
Who shouted at you down the phone?
Who told you to grow up?
Who bailed you out every time?
Who let you breathe and gave you some space?
Who knew you as well as I did?
Who saw another side of you?
Who came to your rescue?
Who wanted the best for you?
Who was beside you when things slowed down?
Who looked you in the eyes?
Who held your hands when you were dying?
Who closed your eyelids when you died?
Who sat by your side?
Who kissed you goodbye?
