For The Mother Alone

                  Innocent child smiling laughing
                  with the front teeth missing
                  running wild with open arms,
                  Happiness flooding with a toy,
                  Oblivious of time trial or

                  Suffering, DEATH..or exhaustion,

                  Just a colorful world of fun and joy
                  Of toffees chocolates and ice creams,
                  Of sound sleep and sweet dreams,

                  But Hark! Stillness creeps, LOOK OUT!
                  Speeding trucks and buses,

                  loom and  zoom,
                  Cruel and wild, dashing fast---
                  Bubbling laughter turned to screams.....
                  Twisted iron and ripped seams....

                  A light extinguished!
                  A silenced home.!
                  A Love Lost!
                  A shattered dream.!

                  People stood and looked...

                  stared and stared...NO ONE Shared...
                  No One Could Share...

                  the shock, the grief, the pain,

                  It was for The Mother Alone.
