Seeing their smiling faces,
Seeing their happy faces,
Seeing their loving faces,
Seeing their honest faces.

Feeing their happiness,
Feeing their ecstasy,
Feeling their love,
Feeing their honesty.

Hearing their laughter,
Hearing their chortles,
Hearing their heartbeats,
Hearing their truthful words.

Smelling their perfume,
Smelling their essence,
Smelling their liveliness,
Smelling their childishness.

My tongue refuses to budge,
My tongue refuses to let my cheeks spread,
My tongue refuses to let them know,
My tongue refuses to respond.

They wait for me,
They stay with me,
They pray for me,
They cry with me.

For the past decade,
They did.
Daily;Without a day's gap,
My loving family.

My heart beats,
My soul remains,
Yet I am immobile,
In a coma;they say.

Take me up,
Or give me a chance,
Oh God,
To live!
