May I Ask You?

May I ask you;

                How you came in this world?

When Mum was being impatient;

                Unable to bear the pain!

It eventuated like a miracle;

                When she heard your first cry!

Your tiny legs relieved her;

                She could all went to cuddle up!

Your soft hands expressed her victory;

                Her struggle against wrath was over!

You were exposed to this beautiful world;

                Bringing blessing along!

When you were an infant;

                She was at your disposal;

Without caring day or night

                She attended your every need!

You started growing;

                She was there in dark stormy nights!

Bringing closer to her breast, she fed you;

                And eases you sleep peacefully!

You turned into a school boy

                And her fight against odds continued..

Leaving childhood, you entered youth;
                 She waited for you support! 

You were busy with college and friends;

                  And created your own world!

 She did not say but only waited;

                   That you will spend time with her!

          

Day passed too soon;

                 And you became a professional!

Occupied, ambitious and ignorant;

                  You remain entangled!

You found your love;

                   And life shined upon you!

She then waited for your company;

                  But it never happened!

May I ask you why;

                   You took her for granted?

Don’t tell me because;                                  

                   She was your Mother!

Dedicated to all Mothers!                                                                                    

Unanswered Questions!

We met long before;

When life left me ignore!

      Time taught me not to trust; 

             But you got in with lurking thirst!

I never wanted myself to bother;

But we got along each other!

           We ate, we laughed, we talked;

     Holding hands we walked!

Soon you disappeared;

Leaving me infuriated!

You did not appear;

             And hope turned into despair!

I asked myself so many times;

Why he liked me dressed to the nines!

        Is it all over between us?

       Was it not in our hearts?

Hope did not leave me;

And I desperately waited for glee!

I was shattered;

               For you it never mattered!

Days...months...years;

You only left me with tears!

                       Unwillingly or willingly I moved on;

                          And soon your memories were gone!

Unexpectedly but I met my love;

And resumed to dove!

                 He pampered, loved and cared;

         And then we were paired!

He almost made me forget you;

And I never wanted you to woo!

               But you were back one day;

            I ignored come what may!

With all those words;

I pined to hear like innocent birds!

It made me cry;

  I did not feel shy!

To say you like a knife;

That I would not betray my life!

Like you did;

        Left me in the mid!

And many questions entailing;

Where were you when it was most needed;

Remained unanswered...

                                                                ****************

Ever Wondered...

Ever wondered who made you breathe; 

To live the life full of joy!

                                                                Ever wondered who fed you;

                                                                To relish the best in world!

Ever wondered who gave you voice;

To say from your heart!

                                                                 Ever wondered who made you express;

                                                                 To present your feelings through gestures!

You know who I am ascribing about;

Do you still doubt?

                                                                 On the supreme power;

                                                                 Who gave us this beautiful life!

Without any conditions!

Without any expectations!

God, I Owe You!
