Guardian Angel

When people descend into the realm of nothingness
they ascend into guardian angels
so they say,
I hope it's true
because by then you would be mine.

Watching over me day and night
how safe I would be.

Enlightening every path I tread on
how cared for I would be.

Safeguarding me from misfortunes of this sick,cruel world
how loved I would be.

Bearing off my cries and sorrows
how at peace I would be.

It would be eleven years now
Eleven years of your resolute love and care
I hope it's true,
because by then how ecstatic I would be Mama.
