Mom Of Two Gems

Grateful to God for blessing me with two 

gems as sons two lovely dazzling stars 

who made my life 

as sweet as chocobars

and filled my heart with

 an exquisite cocktail of emotions,

moments of joy, thoughts 

happiness and ambitions 

coupled with a number of celebrations 

We named our firstborn as ‘HARSHA’

as symbolic of its meaning 

 he brought joy happiness

 and delight in our life 

what we need

and the second one named as ‘AKARSH’ 

who is symbolic of attraction 

in words and deeds 

In our family and friends 

they are very very dear 

and they bring in every 

heart joy and cheer 

I could not spend much 

time with them when 

they were with me 

because of my profession 

which may not be

 the correct justification 

and when they far from me 

I am craving for them 

Of course whatever time I

could spend with them 

were my moments best, 

sweetest and cute memories

 Still I have reminiscences of their 

cute innocent sweet faces

and early morning wake ups and 

rushing to school by running races

Evenings were their excitement time

for they were eager and hurry 

 to go to parks with friends to play 

 night time playing cricket game 

weekends meeting grandparents 

enjoying in the beaches

 eating raw mango pieces with salt 

with all this they 

were very happy and gay 

I was busy all through the day 

With my house hold chores and 

 feeding them with

 their favourite dishes

which was my only way 

Time is fleeting, the years rush past 

my little sons became

 grownups very fast 

No longer they are by my side 

for home works or for doubts 

and their precious secrets to confide 

No cries of drawing books, geometry box

 picture books, pencils pens 

 or new shoes to hear 

all those became nostalgic 

memories of yester year 

Earlier my hands were completely busy

but now I felt like doing

 all the things they 

asked me in the past 

for them at first 

My whole hearted gratitude

 to god for raising my sons

 to a greater heights 

in nurturing family values

 and profession wise

for which we toiled and

 prayed day and night 

We did not face any difficulty 

in bringing them up 

as they were always 

on their hop 

and trying to keep

them at the top 

Both of them

are my two eyes 

their happiness and joys 

are my sparks of smiles 

I don’t know much 

how to compliment orally 

but I can express my feelings 

in this piece of poetic form 

umpteen times I miss them........

that I can confirm 

Having them as my sons 

 Is a proud feeling in my life 

conveying loads and loads 

of thanks to god 

for producing them before me

the way I expected them to be

 in this world of strife 

I pray GOD to shower 

 His choicest blessings on them

 to face all challenges in their 

journey of life 

May he be always by their side 

and drive them in the correct path as a guide 

And enable them to take 

right decision at the right time 

Help them to distinguish 

between just and unjust

 real and unreal 

good and bad 

 

May he be that flame of light 

make their life shine bright 

Keep them safe secured happy 

healthy wealthy simple humble 

kind and comfortable

This is my earnest wish 

for them ever and ever

which I cherish
