Paradise

A touch of love unveils me in a moment
and blissfully treasures me beyond any doubt
Indeed a warm embrace showers me joy
A helping hand truly ends my weariness
and “I love you” joyfully croons my heart

When God breathes my spirit with fragrance
My angelic wings spread guidance on earth
Fashions as the world’s great human being
My soul is filled with immense love and
My heart with genuine compassion

I am a denizen of earth who gives your life
Without me you remain a wandering cell,
a trifling matter without identity or ascension
I am a loving creator you must be grateful
and a divine stroke of luck you must cherish

Your emergence is a battle I hardly win
An endowment you must be deeply indebted
My hardship of bearing you must not be ignored
My agony of giving you birth cannot be recompensed

I deserve kindness; I must gain love and respect
I am a silent builder who contours your soul 
A suit of armour that protects you from danger

Aching spine, broken meals and sleepless nights
are torments I endure in the midst of a great war
I struggle like a warrior if you are in trouble

Abhorrence towards me locks your heaven’s gate
My dear, condemn me not for my shortcomings
Breaking my heart hides your fortune’s face

Oh my lovely child, love me unconditionally
Your paradise lies

under my blessed feet!
