A Plea To My Mother

 

May I always see your smile

Flashing through the worries that cloud my mind.

May I always feel your gaze looking out from a stranger.

May I always feel your hand on my back

As I walk forward through the years.

May the love I give to others

Be the very own love you have for me,

Immeasurable and unconditional.

 

May I know you love me

Every second of every day,

And trust in that love so strongly

That it fills every cell in my body

Until I become love itself.

As I fall asleep, in those precious moments

Between awareness and dream,

May I feel you whisper in my ear,

And have that whisper vibrate in my chest:

"Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma."

May I fall asleep with the awareness

That my pillow is your lap,

As I sink further and further into sleep

May you meet me in dreams then,

And laugh with me and teach me the way your heart speaks.

 

May I awake from sleep each day with you at the forefront of my mind.

Hold my hand, guide me, like a child through my day.

May I see you in everyone and everything,

And love them as I do you

For you are in all things.

 

Please, will you always hold me, in my darkest hour

Wiping away my tears with your Sari,

Leading me through my heaviest sadness,

Leading me through the pain and to your smile,

As you beam widely at the road ahead of me that I cannot see.

May you always give me the faith of a child

Who trusts in its Mother to lead her through.

May I always realize that, wherever I am,

It was Mother who picked me up and put me there

And it is she who presides over all I do.

 

May I always be humbled at your feet

And know that I know nothing.

May I always feel blessed to be here now,

To be in the presence of the physical body of a Master

And to be a child of God.

May I always remember the day I first saw your face

And the flood of light that came with it.

May I cling to that image until the day I leave this body.

 

May I love you with all of my heart and soul,

So that I will be able to feel at least a fraction

Of the love you have for me.

May I always see your hand on the shoulder of my enemy,

And know that he is your son.

 

May I see you playing behind the eyes of every child,

looking out from the eyes of every animal,

And dancing on the limbs of every tree.

May I always be aware of the world as your divine play

So that I may sink into the sadness and happiness with the same joy

In which I sink into your arms.

 

May every one in the world feel, for just one moment, your darshan

So that they will leave this world knowing their Mothers smile.

And most importantly, my Divine Mother,

May your arms of love be massaged every night

By the prayers and tears of your devoted children.
