When I swim in the sea
the waves rock me
and I remember my grandmother
rocking me in her arms
with her special singsong hum
When divine mother Amma
embraced me
She rocked me in her arms
and pressed her cheek against mine
whispering
My daughter, my daughter
until I cried
Watching the sun rise
I remember you
I think of you
I thank you
My God
I cry
Rock me in your arms
for the rest of my life
