I Love you Mom
You are my mother,
My best friend and
A great supporter.
You love me, care for me,
Listen to me
And can fight for me with anyone.
You comfort me,
You protect me, though
Sometimes you get strict with me.
You tell me I am the best
Even when I am behind the rest.
You stand by me when I am scared
You boost me when I am tired.
If god ever gives me a choice
To choose any mom,
You would be the only one
Because “You Are The Best Mom.”

Going to the park together with friends, arm linked in arm,
In our hearts leaps the happiness of soaring swings, humming birds, butterfly’s charm.
Glowing and twittering, chirping and glittering like the inmate of old MacDonald’s farm.
Glancing back at my childhood, heart misses a beat and is alarmed,
Lingering on the threshold of two stages, one step back, another in a fascinating youth.
Entering the new, embracing the old I am at last able to enjoy after storm, dull & calm.
Knock! Knock! On my window
Oh no! It’s a Sunday.
I snuggle back in the pillows
Trying to catch few more naps
No way! It’s again a knock knock
And a tap tap, a warm pat.
I open my eyes
“Oh Sun! Why are you so bad?
Don’t you want me to rest and nap?”
He winks his bright mischievous wink.
“Darling its morning I think.
Throw away your blanket of mink
Let your lazy body in a bubble bath sink.”
I go red and pink.
“You know what
I can vanish you with two winks.”
But then, why not listen to my buddy I think.
He is the one who plays hide & seek since I was a child.
Although a fiery bun, for me he is mild,
He gives me brotherly warm hugs
Whenever my heart is lonely cold and wild.
Most of the times, he fumes n fret
Sometimes he frowns, and makes me sweat
But when he his dashing smile flash
I give up! And don’t want to clash.
He is my buddy! And my life’s part!
Oh sure! He is close to my heart
So I get up with a start
Ok Sun! Let’s go, play and have fun.
I am a white jasmine
Virtuous and fragile
Blooming without intruding
Spreading its incense while staying unseen.
Embracing the golden sunshine, the snowy rain
While trying to spread the real bliss all around.
Turning fury to joy
Blissful and ingenuous
I am a white pearly jasmine flower.
Life is a vibgyor with all the seven colours of spectrum,
Showing all the shades of life.
In infancy it’s the pure innocent white,
Rejoicing in mother’s love,
And then springing to yellow to a playful
Wild life, experiencing all the new moods and swings in its flight.
Then it takes a turn to the radiant orange and red,
Going through the rose love, while
Learning the real meaning of life.
Then it slowly starts to move towards the
Midnight blue going all the way from violet and indigo,
Relishing its old golden age.
After appreciating all the shades,
Life finally reaches the end in the dark space
To rest in calm grey night.
