Unconditional Love

When did you enter into my life? 
Was it when the crying baby in the cradle received a warm hug from her mother? 
or was it when the children cheerfully ran home after the school's long bell? 

When did you start sharing your creamy thoughts with me? 
Was it when the baby nightingale gifted its first tune to the world? 
or was it when the cutie caterpillar emerged out of its white house? 

When did you take my hand into yours?
Was it when the sun secretly promised to enhance the glory of the earth with its light and warmth? 
or was it when the green leaf slipped off its blanket early to get the food ready for its family? 

When is that you spoke the words of love to me? 
Was it when the love birds passionately kissed under the romantic twilight? 
Or was it when the air smoothly carried the anther's pollen to the bed of stigma? 

When did you even dare to steal my sorrow bag? 
Was it when the mighty mangroves tried to stop the high rising oceanic tides? 
Or was it when the fiery tigress generously caressed the lost bear cub? 

When did you first kiss my forehead? 
Was it when the proud mother rafted through the waters of her daughter's success? 
Or was it when the nation proudly turned the pages of its history book? 

When did you decide upon being my life mate? 
Was it when the word "responsibility" stepped into the world of letters? 
or was it when Adam took the onus of Eve in the garden of Eden? 

I really don't want to be immersed in ferreting for answers to all these questions.
All I want is to live and be lost in every moment of this togetherness.

I found myself smiling at each verse, but especially this part: "When did you even dare to steal my sorrow bag?" Well done, Swetha. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
