To Mother, the Unveiled Divinity

The Man of Sorrows befriended me

Companion of my lonely days

When darkness seemed eternity

And I a waif among God's strays.

He bade me join the poignant hush

Where every joy with grief is tinged

And painted with emotion's brush

Each earthly act desire-hinged.

He dwelt with me through countless years

And the slow awakening from birth,

Designed a chalice for my tears

In the sojourn of my lives on earth.

But now I've taken his gracious leave

To tread a path towards sanctity

No past attachment shall I grieve

For I've seen unveiled, the divinity.
