1.
Some days are filled with sadness,
Some days are filled with tears!
Some days are filled with disbelief,
Some days pass relishing memories!
No matter what, these emotions
Are within me never displayed!
When alone, I call out my parents’
Knowing I will hear your voices
And that you are near me but,
In some other form! 

2.    
My little shell holds me tight
Protects the real me,
Listens to my heart, reads my mind
Guides me thru each day that dawns.
My little shell holds my emotions intact;
Guards my thoughts clandestine, and
Helps me smile though path is rough and hard.

3.
Sometimes nostalgic memories
Take birth in my mind;
Sneak out of my eyes,
And stand like raindrops.
I try hard to contain these trinkets
from sliding down my cheeks,
Knowing this is how
Life is meant to be-
So reminisce, accept and move on

4.
It is always my music and I
My soul healer, my strength;
I turn to you dear Music
For that celestial strength;
I turn to you dear Music
For that soothing comfort;
I talk in a language that
You alone understand and,
Will always understand.

5.
I may be that few who has lost 
both the parents before my half century-
I accept that graciously!
I may be that few whose parents are
near me but invisible to me- 
I understand completely!
I may be that few who talks to parents in a language 
that none living converse- 
I am still learning!
I may be that few who feels heavy at times 
and then realise it's my parents hugging me in their new way-
I feel the warmth!
Wherever you are, whatever form you are, 
however you are, be near me, guide and give me that warmth
I will no longer have that touch physically. 
Until that day.... a temporary adieu!
