Her eyes were drowsy
All she wanted was a place to rest
It was the coolest winter morning
Like all, she wished for a cup of morning tea
served at her comfort,
but there she was rushing up in the morning hour
breathlessly, in a rush to finish all work
she lost her childhood, adulthood and her old age too…
where she will find her solace
only in service, her life continues
abandoned of all the pleasures
she lived..lived for the sake of family…
she is …The “MOM”
I sat whimsically looking at my kids
I wonder from where to start
and where to stop
the mess around me
had turned my thoughts bushy and wild
I wondered was it just me?
or every other mom in the world like me
lost in wondering thought
feel like solitude is a bliss at times
I look at them, at times lost in my thoughts half way
as they keep doing their mischiefs
beguiling me and my lost mind
was I mad? or really lost the grip of my anger?
the world around me was moving faster
and I sat there idle watching it like a clown
one goes this way, while the other goes another way round
as I walk towards my daily chores
which keeps building up like a mountain overnight
the mom is me was lost in thoughts
when the little ones were gaining the momentum
and gained the control of my home
The soon I decided to ignore
the easier it was for me to relax
even though the world was upside down around me
Yet their smiles made me feel that the world was right around me.
You are born to her
the cradle in her human form
nurtures you and caress you
you kick her, touch her and feel her
you reward her with sleepless nights forever
yet she is the one who always cares for you
you are born giving her the pain that is the greatest
yet you form the courage in her to suffer it
your little face delights her and shoots up a smile
even with teary eyes , you can make her smile
even if you agree or disagree, she will stand for you
even if you fight with her, she is the only one who cannot stop being with you
the love that began even before she sighted you
the love that never judges your color or physical appearance
the love that stands universally
and stays forever
is the Mother’s love.
Treasure it forever, as you cannot gain another Mother.
Her tiny little hands held my face
fondling my cheeks and kissing it
she was biting her teeth as she was hugging me tightly
her big eyes looked at me with all love she could contain in it
she hugged me tightly in my neck
only my neck could be embraced by her little hands
she kissed on my eyes and my forehead
she kissed on my nose and bit my nose
her tiny teeth were wrapping my nose
and even those tiny sharp teeth were biting me – all I did was smile
I loved the way she held my face in her tiny hands
the soft tender fingers fiddling on my face
hugging me she said ” mama I love you”
and as I smiled she said ” mama say ” I love you too baby”
I smiled and repeated what she said ” I love you too my baby”
Her joyous expressions were precious and I held her close to myself
embracing her tightly …..
I wish I could be like her and tell out how much I love always.
Her eyes were slipping into a deep sleep
yet her mind was not resting
she wanted to play again
she wanted to be awake, even when her eyes cheated her
by dozing off while she tried to keep it awake
she was looking at her heart that lay close to her
the one she had given a life out of her
the one she nurtured forever in her womb for months
the one she wanted to be in her arms
she watched as her Lil one was playing with her hair and the little dolls she had cuddled
she watched and watched as her eyes were dripping into sleep
yet she woke up to admire the love on earth that was for her
in between as she admired her, her Lil baby fondled her cheeks and gave her a kiss
she was flattered and floating in the air, with all the love she showers on her
there is nothing more beautiful than the love of a mom and baby.
