                                               Umbilical cord....

                                    

                                          From inception in the womb

                                     Cocooned and nurtured, the foetus

                                        Growing by the minute, the hour

She’s there, each time, everywhere

Out in the world, to suckle, to giggle and cry

Firmly snuggled in the lap of luxury

Overcoming every fear, with a lullaby

She’s there, each time, everywhere

The artist instils in me to clasp, to sit and crawl

And the first step to independence and separation

The guiding light ever watchful, and ready to embrace

She’s there, each time, everywhere

Inculcating habits, culture, religion and prayer

To sing, to dance and to emote

The craftswoman sculpting and moulding me to shape

She’s there, each time, everywhere

Me, the convoy just followed the escort,

Like a shepherd herding and tending

To study, to perform and act and enact

She’s there, each time, everywhere

The pied piper of my life, a ready reckoner

In the manual of life for all things good

To emulate, to follow and reproduce

She’s there, each time, everywhere

Creator, bearer, nourisher, protector,

Supporter, saviour, upholder and vindicator

The Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient

She’s there, each time, everywhere.

Salutations to my mother.....the mother of all mothers!

                     

                 The verses tumbled out of my heart like a torrent, unstoppable and breathless. As my mother carries my heart always, I am in her academy of learning life’s lessons forever. She is a bank’s vault where in I have safeguarded all my thoughts, worries, hatred, sorrows, regrets and anxiety and in return have earned rich interest in the form of joy, happiness, courage, protection, intellect and vindication. A mother’s affection and endurance cannot be described in words and at each and every walk of life I feel it and look up to her in awe and admiration. Through thick and thin, my mother has faced it all but each time emerging stronger. She fought cancer like a warrior and came out victorious teaching me the meaning of will and determination in the process. My mother has an “expert’s” understanding and approaches life physically, mentally and spiritually. A typical day starts with reverence, bowing before the almighty and the Supreme Being, to make her day meaningful.

                     “Matru”, the Sanskrit word for mother has lent the word “mater” to Greek and “mother” to English, and thereby, the world has acknowledged the sanctity of the word and the source and glorified her presence in all texts. To describe my mother in a nutshell would be:-

 “Strong” which means she effectively encapsulates tenacity and resilience  

“Beautiful” as in exciting and admirable

“Intelligent” as she is able to understand and comprehend and make judgement

“Gentle” for being kind, caring and amiable

“Classy” as she is having the air of sophistication and refinement

And

“Sacrificing” for giving up so much so that her child could have as much!

I am what my mother made me and I am thankful for that!!!
