SEEKING FOR FATHER’S LOVE

Every year the New Year returns,
Joy is everywhere,
But with sadness, I sit and cry
For the absence of my father
I hear a father’s voice calling
My heart feels despair,
A Father’s love is not shared
A Father’s love is not given
Fatherless at 10 years old
14 without a mother, without a home,
Teary eyes in the car,
Headed to a strange city
Tomorrow is in a foreign place,
At night I sleep with anxiety,
Tomorrow is to make a living,
Go to school regardless of hunger
A bowl of rice in a strange land
Is not easy to find,
th
Sorrow on the night of the 30
Alone with no loved ones,
The city, silent and waiting,
Midnight of the New Year waits
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers
Like destruction to my heart.
Tears overflowing from my eyes
Loneliness in life,
Father taught “do not cry”,
Yes, I remember the words,
“Then why are you crying ?”
Tears just flow, I am not crying.
A Father’s love is not shared
A Father’s love is not given !
