Why would you risk implanting such costly seeds
Could not be a good husband
Could not be a good father
Could not be a good friend
What could I be then?
Could not be a good walker
Could not be a good runner
Could not be a good bystander
What could I be then?
I did try to be a good teacher
I did try to be a good activist
I Did try to change this world
And could I do that even?
I know you have meant some thing precious
Every time you have fought with me
I know you care for me
I know you teach me always to be more human
More fair and more just
Knowing that that might cost you dearly
Why would you risk implanting such costly seeds
In my garden
Knowing how bad a son I proved to be
Will you mother me to improve
Will you take me in your arms like
Another child that you have to rear
Will you help me to live again
Will you nurture me always
Will you sow some flowers but also thorny plants
Around my grave
Will you remember that I prayed
Every time I ever prayed
Not just for me but for you
That is all I can say without any doubt
Without any dilemma
Without any dilution
I have learned what it means to be there
When some one needs you, ( here)
