ONE DAY

ONE DAY
(to Sword of Kumankoma)

One day I shall be
An umbrella in your hands---
To provide icy shade
In the midst of a flaming sun
And to be a shield
Against drops of raging rains

I shall remain strong
And firm never to leave your caring grip

I have built you a palace in my heart
One day I shall be your slave
To feed you on my sweat and serve
You with all my muscles and bones

I shall stay forever at your feet--
The abode of love

One day I shall be your
Inseparable Siamese twin
Joined together in the heart
Your family shall be mine
And mine, yours

I shall walk with you in warm daylight
And rest with you in the cold night

One day I shall welcome
The gifts of God from your womb
To  be their guiding rod
And you,  their comfortable bed of solace;

A family built on a rocky foundation

One day I shall be the first
To receive Fathers Day wishes
From your magical tongue

One day..Just one day
