I Am Missing You Today
Ama, you taught us from
Vedas and Guru Granth Sahib
Quoting verses of unity and brotherhood
We were told God is surrounding us so
Never do wrong to others
I heard stories of the partition when
You came holding your children with Baba
From Pakistan to India as refugees
But you never complained
And became the sole strength for our family
Baba left us too early,
But I grew up in your arms
You poured your spirituality into me
Ama I am torn today!
As I hear the stories of racism and enmity increasing
Killing and looking down upon other souls
Dominant races denying all truths,
Narrowing down the vision of vast Universe
You showed me India as the land of Rishi Muni
Pious Ganges and Yamuna’s shores
Himalaya’s height to aim for our characters
And depths of Indian Oceans to own
Broadened vision and accepting all
Hindus, Muslims, Christians, rich or small
Love for God and love for all
Ama I am missing you today…
