After the FloodsAfter the floods have washed away life
hopes and dreams gone with each wave
sitting now by a once-small creek, rife

How can life itself be...

In foggy winter of mistrustIn foggy winter of mistrust,
To warm up heart in hope of sun,
To dry my nagging doubts to dust,

MirageO search not for a rare applause,
Beware, life is a thankless stage—

My Daughter
My delight at the day's summit
My strength when despair looms
My happiness in every season
My daughter, my life
The morning sun's gentle rise
The rainbow midday's grace
The stars in the night's embrace
My daughter, my everything
Your lullaby...

We Gained Saint, Lost MotherSaints seem to shine from far off sphere,
Canonized they get a halo.
