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.

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!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful soul with a very very special talent to express your love. It's late but i hope your son had a beautiful birthday. Your kids are very fortunate to have you, as you are to have them.
