This poem is dedicated to my Mother who has always been there for me, no matter what! Whatever little I have acquired is only because of her. I sometimes feel she has some supernatural power- working both outside and inside the house and still with so much perfection! I am determined to make her proud one day and this poem is in context to that very day. I'd be reciting this to her on the day I achieve something big! And, I strongly believe that the day is quite near...
So, here it goes-
See, what you've made of me!
Nurturing me, since I slept in your egg,
Like a lazy sperm, with no hands-no legs!
Then bringing me into this world, held to your bosom,
Devoting to me most of yourself, and keeping to yourself some..
The sleepless nights you spent, the weary days that came and went
Have moulded me for this day, so important!
See, what you've made of me!
From a seed to a full grown tree,
With my roots still held to the ground,
While I looked up high into the sky all around.
For you have made me sturdy,
Still having taught me to be wise, patient and worthy!
What else could have I asked from you,
You already gave me so much in plenty!
From the day I learnt to walk, I thought I was walking all alone..
Setting for ventures, persuing my goals!
And, when I succeeded, I thought- "Oh! I did it all alone!"
Little did I realise that you've always walked with me..
Like an Aura around me, throughout the endeavour, pushing and guiding me!
That now I stand before you, with this reward, feeling so glee,
When I could finally say-
"Maa, see what you've made of me!" :)
So, here it goes-
