A New Way Of Life

For my daughter and myself on Mother’s Day

As the nightingale sings its song
And the serpent slides into where it belongs
The fox after its feast gets up and yawns
The cuckoo croons and sings to the swans
I walk in the woods where the spring has awakened
The wild flowers blossom,colours emblazoned

I ask myself, what did I do to have found you
What will I have to do to keep you, my dew
To have luck continue my way
You are my love, you are my jay
I dreamt of you and made you my reality
And then put an end to my duality

I love the sight of you
You have made my life anew
I live to see you laugh, to hold your hand
To see you sleep, to be your magic wand
You please me more everyday
Life has shown me a new way

O Wind, please continue to blow my way
Life without her will be dark and gray
She is like a vision to the blind
Solution to all riddles you will find
My love for her is as measureless as the sky
Will never let you go or I shall die

Excellent, an ode

Excellent, an ode

Excellent, an ode Anglice, save several metrical excesses in our voice !
Even then its English very nice, so as to read it twice or thrice !
Why then left some space in fifth star, though the poem is a bit above par ?
