New Life
New Life
Listening to the first cry of her daughter
The mother's heart jolted
Holding her little angel close to her
Her heart was satisfied
Carrying her for nine months in the womb
She knew it was her own blood
The mother was filled with joy forgetting the fact
That all her family wanted a boy
She thought, may be, they would change their mind
She held her baby close to her and kissed her forehead gently
Recognising her husband's footsteps coming closer to her She shivered with countless apprehensions
Where do I hide from these monsters
She questioned in her mind with fear
While pondering to take a decision
Her husband arrived
The feeling of fear in her eyes
The husband lifted the baby from her hand
Getting a touch of that soft velvety flesh
He felt reincarnated
Seeing the moon like face of the daughter
The father's heart melted with love
Seeing a change in her husband
She couldn't believe her eyes
He bent his head down with a shame
He slowly held his wife's hand and asked for forgiveness
Promising to be a responsible husband and father
He set an example for others
