I stand still and gaze 
At the lonely sky above
With great hope of
His soon return.
Painful ache in my heart
Hides in daylight and
Buries in moonlight
But God knows the truth.
Since a tender age
I've suffered ailments 
Chronic heart disease and
Recurrent tonsillitis.
The doctor recommended
An operation, but fearing death
I refused oral medicines
Yet found no relief.
Fed up with life 
Longing for heavenly abode
I pray to God to take me
To a calm, serene place.
But memories of childhood
Warm my heart
Fond touches of family
My happiest moments.
My school friends and teachers 
Appreciated my efforts
In studies and participation
But someone came and shattered it all.
He, who is now a criminal
No longer cares
Suggested I marry someone else
Changed his cell number.
My heart shattered into pieces 
Hopes vanished into thin air
Promises broken
Tears the only solace.
Though my mind is strong
Memories flicker and I'm immersed
In whirling tears, like
The saying, "One goes, thousand come."
I toil in the sun and rain
Holding the sickle and spade
Daily labor in the fields
Until my father opened a grocery shop.
Learning is a lifelong process
With no age or time barriers
Hoping to continue my studies
God, I pray for a beautiful life ahead.
Life is not a bed of roses. Many things would happen and it happens for the best.
