Alarm reminds its 9 AM, I get up and snooze it for a while. Then I realize I am forgetting to wish someone and its someone’s special day. Oops it’s Madhu Masi’s B’day and I dial to hear a chirpy voice on the other end. I was expecting a little low and mellow down voice as it’s her b’day and a mother misses their kids on this special day. Reason we all know, we “children” form the world of our mother. But our Masi’ is the chirpiest person I have ever met on earth. I asked her what exactly she is planning to do and her special day and she happily explained what all she did since morning and what she plan’s to do further. ….

I have tried to weave her feelings with words which look like a poetry – keeping myself in her shoes, here she goes.

I get up to realize – day is yet to break,
It’s my day and heart is not ready to wait
I give a lazy look to the watch which is stuck
But smile with a thought another year is a “luck”

So many years bygone, I wonder how time just flies
From running for the birds on the skies
To singing for my angel a lullaby –
I hope i did well, without regrets
Lived each day without any threat

I get up to gaze – world is still beautiful as it was
I hope to live it best going forward without a pause
When GOD blessed me with this life let me make it large
Let me make it colorful and let smiles barge

I look around to my empty house, where my kids use to play,
Somehow they grew so fast.. I miss those lovely days
For their success and their love for me and for feeling of being a ‘Mother’ Today I wish to celebrate, though we are not here together.

I want to celebrate it in a different way, I might take a quite walk-
Visit a temple all alone, and do some windows shop
Though I will miss my kid’s hugs and kisses
Will call them up and thank them for the wishes
Will remind them of their favorite dishes
Wish they can be here to make it for me and feed
But I am happy with their constant love
Nothing more Dear GOD I need.
