My Children

I really love my children very much

Sometimes I myself wonder how much

And I also do keep pondering over,

The why…s of loving them so much :)

 

I know a mother loving her progeny

Is very much a universal phenomenon

Innate and natural, this nurturance

It is not quite a mystery as such;

Yet it mesmerises me as much ;)

 

I cherish having them in my life

They are God’s unique gifts to me

A deep bonding I share with them

The relationship is a precious treasure

As much as for them, as for me…

 

It is an unfathomable and

Ubiquitous experience…

For me, as well as, for

All “have been” and all

'mothers-to-be' J

 

Wish it so happens

The world becomes

A better place for all

Parents and their children.

For mothering moms

And doting fathers

Striving to see their

Progenies, ever smiling :))))

Ever succeeding, in all their

Missions of Life.

 

Need this Earth to be

A happier place

For my children

And for the precious little ones

And the growing ones

Of mothers and fathers

Who always wish

That their offsprings

Survive, sustain and thrive

In a safe haven of paradise

Sans the perils they faced.

 

Wonder, if once and for all,

History won’t repeat itself?

 

Or if it does, may the good

Remembrances and Reminiscences

Be there always…

For our children on this earth.

And the bad memories causing hurt

And pain aplenty -

Be erased away from these

Torch-bearers of tomorrow

So that they rise and shine

Like the effervescent Sun

Of bright, glorious days.

 

And even if they have to set,

May they be –

Like the setting sun’s

Reddish warm glow

Touching the deepest core

Of our hearts and our minds

As we relax and rewind

In the refreshing sea-breeze

Healing us with the holistic views

Of that majestic Sun

Receding for the day

For its slumber in the

Drifting waves of the sea.

 

To rise up again Refreshed

And buoyant with its contagiously

Electrifying Energy, vigorously

Helping us live through…

Another day, another week,

Another month of another year

In the many decades of our lives,

For eons and eons together…

Of our past, present and future

Generations to come and go.

 

Indeed, children –

Be they yours or mine

Let us all render them

So divine.

That like the invincible Sun

They remain the ever-shining

Beacon of light

Illuminating this earth

With their burning passion for life,

Glowing with love, hope and

Boundless compassion for all…

To make everyone’s life on earth

Worthwhile and worthy of living.
