Tell me a story of a life pre-destined with death but still has the bravest breath,

Tell me a story of sweet memories forever imprinted down the vista of years,

Tell me a story of a candle that lit unapologetically amidst all the rain and storms,

Tell me a story of one hundred precious dreams with smiles dispatched from market price,

Tell me a story of passion untied and untangled with profession,

Tell me a story of every child holding books ignorant from the sound of fire-guns,

Tell me a story of the wind whispering to the leaves with its melodious breeze

Tell me a story of love and innocence

Tell me a story of labor and consistence

Tell me a story of the magic of kindness and the power of oneness

Oh, tell me a story of hope and life; of fall yet elegant rise,

Oh, tell me a story of the mesmerizing warm twilight

Of the grace and shyness of the soft moonlight

Tell me a story of fulfilled promises,

Tell me a story of sky enveloped with "starry nights"

Oh, Mother tell me a story close to the heart

Long lost in the race of today,

Oh mother, I long to hear tales of the dear yesterday.
