MY JOURNEY...

when the word mother touched my heart
like a cold breeze
when innocence and love were
flowing in my heart like a stream 
spreading peace everywhere
i felt orphaned 
i wished i had a magic wand
then i could go to happy land
shaping links of harmony throughout my journey
i hoped for a happier tomorrow,gazing
at the gleaming sun, i felt orphanedwithout anyone to guide me forward
with an ocean of emotions
with a burdened heart
i travelled to an unprecendeted destiny
