caring arms

came into the world with a loud cry
but soon learnt to smile
life looked bright and nice
cuddled up in mamma's caring arms

so many people moving here and there
pausing to give a nice warm smile
life looked bright and nice
cuddled up in mamma's caring arms

the world got bigger as i began to grow
saw more shades that were bright and grey
but there was no moment to ponder
as life lead on with all its force

too many hues and too many images
not always all that pleasant
the bright, piercing blinding lights
forcing my feet off the ground

the fear the uncertainty and the void
made me search for those caring arms
that gave me warmth when i just arrived!
