Indemnity



I can't forget the day you came...
April morning flowers bloom, I smell-
scent of innocence, tears of joy overflowing;
oh, you're the best that I've seen!
Your features are not mine...
but I see so much comparison of you;
as I feel the bond of a mother to her child-
can't deny a part of you belongs to me.
Time flies how you've grown, lo!
not a doubt someday when you come to say;
"mama, get my heir and look what's life ahead"
it's heartbreaking but can't say no.
You left! The world turns against me;
sadness weakens my mortal body...
yet, no matter how you made me suffer-
still wish for your return, one day.
The day has come, it's now over!
whatever things have been, my child;
feels not forlorn in case you've forgotten-
something between you and me sealed forever.
