Happy Birthday To My Eldest Son!

 I was like  lost in the middle of  sunless forest, of loneliness and despair

With no sign of any way out 

Where ever eyes could see was dancing fear and  howling doubt

My heart was like a wounded bird who faced storms dire 

Antagonized with opposite gender because what i had were so unfair

Filled with dread with possibility of having one alike as mom 

Afraid of  going through all misery as did my own mom

When Nurse asked "for what you want to be congratulated ?

My spontaneous  answer was "a daughter"

ironically she smiled and said " congrats you are mom of son "

My  heart  felt like drowned boat , heavy and torn 

Against mine but God willing my eldest son was born.

Having Him in my lap i though felt so  "complete and serene"

Though in far away corner of my being a fear poked like pin.

Days  go by while his smiles  transformed my life,yet some fear kept dim this light

It was yesterday when you hold my hand with your little fingers and today you are all Grown!

You appeared like a sun in my  uncertain world 

Everything bathed in light 

little by little cautiously You made this darkness bright!

It is amazing how gently you vanished away my all fears

The sunless forest is overflowing with joyous Light

The Torn boat is fixed and floating merrily in ocean of life.

The wounded bird is healthy now and flying in heart of sky.

With prudence and foresightedness slowly paving your way 

For your success and peace my whole being is Pray!

It's not about the worldly gifts you share with us 

But about the love and care you always showed as Son!

Thank you for being so kind and  considerate always

Thank you for enlighten our souls with your Insightful ways.

  

You made us complete!

you are most precious gift to your parents my baba!


                  Missing you sooooooooooooooooooooMuch!

See you soon precious friends!

  17. Thank you for sharing such lovely photos, Baili! I hope your eldest son had a wonderful birthday! Since my last visit, we have spent a week in Vegas, followed by an intense 10 or so days of medical and dental appointments for me. Upkeep gets harder when you get older ~ LOL. So far all is good. I hope you received your second Covid shot. I just scheduled my booster shot in September. I wore a mask almost all the time we were in Vegas. It certainly gave me an appreciation for all the incredible medical workers. I'm working forward this time, LOL! Hugs to you, my friend!
