From a Grateful Being-

I recollect the day I chose to step into this world- A world so cruel and ruthless, Where even the light wanted to make me blind. I was welcomed by faces unknown and weird Helpless I was, there was nothing to do , so I cried, cried and cried.. Suddenly, I felt an arm approaching- Worried and afraid, louder I wailed That was when I heard a gentle voice , showering words so composed, Enough it was to pacify my soul. Then a realisation sprung to mind on the touch , as soft as fleece Comforted I was, on being assured to be with the angel who was sent for me by Lord. It was none other than you, Ma! Lost in ecstasy of discovery , I was interrupted by your murmuring to me- That moment, so joyful it was! Your admiration for my cheeks chubby, nose buttony And my being doe-eyed All that still echoes in the core. So many years on and still counting, There is a lot more to mesmerise. I will always love you more than you care for me, Oh Ma! You and I will always be together...
