Heaven's Living Grace
By Hossain Mohammed Murad Meah
English Adaptation of the Bengali Poem "মাতা-পিতা" — composed 09/10/2021
Beyond the One who gave us life,
Who watches from above,
There is no harbor in this world
Like a parent's selfless love.
We stepped into this spinning earth,
Two souls becoming one,
To give us breath and give us light
Until their days are done.
When we were small and helpless things,
Too weak to stand or pray,
They built a palace in their hearts
To keep the storms away.
They traded sleep for soothing songs,
And hunger for our bread,
With every drop of sweat they spilled,
Our growing dreams were fed.
But time is like a fading mist,
And roles will one day flip;
Do not let harsh or biting words
Escape a thankless lip.
For all the wealth the world can hold,
And gold piled mountain-high,
Cannot protect a soul who makes
A grieving parent cry.
You'll find a thousand smiling friends
When skies are bright and blue,
But none will bleed or sacrifice
The way they did for you.
The world is built on give-and-take,
A game of win or lose,
But parents love without a debt -
A path they freely choose.
So do not cast their silver heads
To walls of cold neglect,
For how you treat the old today
Is what you should expect.
Keep them close and hold them dear,
Let kindness be your art,
For the shortest road to Paradise
Is through a parent's heart.
