My mother is a prayer named

My mother is an angel in a body

When a smile from her rises

I find my heart has knelt

A breeze from her comes

My ribs cool down

Mother! Far from your kindness

My heart is shackled in chains

Longing wounded my eyes

And grief overwhelmed my heart

Mother! I wished God would return me as a child

To stay in the cradle of tenderness

Embracing your chest forever
