It was a lovely experience, br To live with a man br for thirty years, br The years slipped away one by one, br Yet his face remains in my memory, br It relieves me when I am br in the desert of gloom, br when the world becomes poisonous for me, br With all its ugliness, br His beautiful smile takes away br every pain. br I still remember the br fingers, br Holding them I saw the world, br I still remember the lap, br Sitting there I learned to dream, br The dream of innocent adolesence, br The dream of magnificent youth, br He never raised an eyebrow on my demands, br But those of illegitimate nature. br But O my heart, O heart, br Where I shall meet him again, br Probably in the next world, br Of reward and punishment. br Often I visit his resting place, br With the deluge of tears br in my eyes, br My heart throbes, br my tongue sticks in my throat, br Being absolutely speechless, br I return home remembering, br His br unbounded love. br He was the embodiment of compassion and love, br He was my beloved father.
