Ethernal Inspiration

I was 

not born

to You,

but was 

adopted by 

Your genial 

approving smile

when we first met

That too

in front of my

Loving parents!

The more I met You,

the less it was,

for a new hue 

of You unfolded 

before me

Whenever I met You.

Your wit

as sharp as a whip,

Your vision

Saw further then 

Most of us could see,

Your concern

knitted us all

In fabric called 'family'

that knew no bounds

where Your love

never forgot to touch

its remotest core.

You were,

What every woman 

should be,

You were, 

what every mother 

should be.

God summoned You

so soon

but the warmth

of your 

lovely memories

lingers on to

inspire me

to epitomise 

to be a shade of

what You used to be

as I trudge on

Path called Life.
