A poignant poem, in which a child reassures a grieving mother.
I wanted to cry, I wanted to die I wanted to leave all things behind I cried I shed tears while my baby lay beside He opened his eyes and raised his arms Touched my face with his little palm Looked in my eyes, smiled and giggled Threw his arms and legs, and babbled I took him in my arms and held him close
What do you feel my baby? What do you know?
I know mommy, I know it all. Believe me mommy it will all be well You will love me and I will love you We will be a team and we will fulfil our dreams Don’t feel sad mommy don’t feel bad Life will soon get little easier if not a lot We will sing and we will dance And mommy you will again make beautiful plans we will take each other by the hand And travel all over this vast land We will fly in the sky and travel the seas We will watch good movies and read lovely books
I will be your little buddy and you will be mine Believe me mommy we will be all fine.

A myth that goes without saying is that only a woman can understand another woman better. What happens when a man does understand what a woman goes through? Especially when the woman is his mother, that too when she is a widow?
