JOURNEY OF MOTHERHOOD

 

The train stood at the platform

Waiting to pull out....

Carrying my heart and soul in it 

To a journey of her dreams

As it pulled out at the dot of time

I found her pair of eyes trying to see me through the glass

The imploring misty eyed look touched my nerves

I realized how painful it is to wave the goodbye

The moving train struck the chord of emotions 

carrying me down the memory lane 

Cradle and crawl.....

Mischief and movement around the house

Sometimes laughter, sometimes wail

Screams which seemed to bring the roof down

The school going feet

The teenager with her friends 

The board years 

The mobile 

Netflix and Music

Swiggy and Zomato to tide over the simple home made food

Suddenly youth turned into adulthood 

School to college 

The kiddo seems to be a smart damsel 

Bold and decisive 

Smart and intelligent independently handling her life

But for me still the kid calling me out for every little thing

Motherhood is so strange 

Never lets the kid grow 

Never accepts that change

Heart full of love 

Hugs and blessings 

With just a prayer to keep her safe and sound 

Everywhere she goes!!!
