You went through pain that’s nearly half death
And brought me onto this beautiful earth
It’s funny when they called it my birth
For in reality it was your second birth!
You gave me space in your womb
And handled my kicks aplomb
Shared your food and your body
And protected me by being sturdy
I became your life ever since I was born
It seemed as if your soul was torn
At times you looked careworn
But with my every little smile and giggleyou were re-born
Speechless you became when I spoke my first word
And ecstatic you were, when I took my first step
Pride I could read in your gleaming eyes
With every little victory that I had in my vies
Whether it was prize or fear or tears that I had
I would run to your arms and cuddle you tight
It’s like a Sun that goes beneath the mountains for rest
Or the birds that fly back home to their nest
Grown up now I am, that for you
I don’t have timeI keep running around the clock for the little dime
Its emails, calls, conferences and meetings
Or sms, chats and friendly dating
Frustrated when Iam, I throw up a taunt
But my happiness and well being is all that you want
You bury up your emotions and put up a smile
And once I leave home you pray for me all while
My ignorance is shed and I’ve understood your plight
That its not just old age but loneliness you fight
I run across to you and lie in your lap
I weep and cry and take a short nap
Nothing I do to you can repay your love
For it’s simply eternal and pure
I just pray to god to give me another birth
Where I can be the mother and you my child….
specially dedicated to my periamma .. mom and chithi.. mama's
