hasmukh amathalal - Towards earth

I look down toward earth
I had anxiety to know after death
I was eager to know about small daughters
I had left them behind to be looked after

Now they are grown up
and of marriageable age
ready to share new life with strangers
I felt proud of being mother

I had met with death
And breathed last
When delivery turned different
The twins were born but I was absent

Everybody resented my early departure
And thought of bleak future
Who will look after new born?
And life of new born shall stand torn etc

I took courage and thought
Where will they be right now?
I could not recognize them
They were almost same like me

I felt happy
About their change already
They might have missed at memory
I felt so sad and sorry
