A lovely poem. This reminds me of the famous Tagore poem -

BIRTH STORY

The kid asks his mum,

‘From where did I come,

Me where did you find?’

Holding him tight in an embrace

In tears and laughter

The mum replies,

‘You were in my mind

As my deepest wish.

You were with me

When I was a child

And played with my dolls.

When worshiping Shiva in the morning

I made and unmade you every moment.

You were with my deity on the altar

And with him I worshipped you too.

You were in my hopes and desires,

You were in my love,

And in the hearts of my mum and grand mum.

I don’t know how long

You kept yourself hiding

In our age old home

In the lap of the goddess of our family.

When I bloomed like a flower in my youth

You were in me like its sweet smell

With your softness and sweetness

You were in my every limb.

You are the darling of all gods

You are eternal yet new

You are of the same age as the morning sun

From a universal dream

To me you came floating

On the floods of joy

That eternally flows in this world.

Staring at you in wonder

I fail to unfold your mystery-

How could one come only to me

Who belongs to all?

Embracing your body with my body

You have come to this world as my kid.

So I clasp you tightly in my breast

And cry when you are away for a moment

I always remain in fear I may lose

One who is the darling of the world.

I don’t know how shall I keep you

Transcreation of the poem Janmakatha from Shishu by Rabindranath Tagore. Compare The Beginning in The Crescent Moon.

Wow  what  a great tribute  to Your Mother ........ Wonderful  lyrics   studded with  love and  affection.... Great poem on the eve of  Mothers' day  Opulence.......

Memory embraced now; for many years to come;

I gathered tons of treasures to show my kids one day;

An album in my heart, of my mother’s love and care;

An inspiration and guide you will forever remain,

Till the breath of my life, in every nerve and vain.
