My life changed
Seventeen years ago…..
As I sat there and prayed
For the future I did not know
The endless wait
Rosary in my hand
Bargains with God I made
For only on Him could I depend
The news came…..
They were out
Life would never be the same
With joy I wanted to shout
There she lay in her cot
The most beautiful baby I had ever seen
Oh my God
She was a dream
I reached out to hold her
A tumult of emotions within
Painstakingly controlling my tears
For a wimp, I did not want to be seen
Seventeen years on
She still has that effect on me
And when the day comes that I am gone
My love and pride for her I hope she will forever see.

A tender expression of an expecting, new mom…….This is wonderful, Shalini.
beautiful……….
You bring out the emotions of a expecting lady to a new mom to an experienced woman ‘’s journey so very beautifully. And the way it rhymes, simple yet defining lines Shalini.
too gud yaar ,
A mother’’s merrying heart…….No doubt she painstakingly bears a life to be created on earth but her sorrows vanish as she looks at the baby…….Thats mother…….Undoubtedly the creator, bears pain for further happiness.How emotionally a mother’’s feelings are portrayed in the post…….Salute to a mother…..Salute to the creator…..
