A step in life…



This is how my mother feels. I know she feels a lot more…
This is just a sincere attempt to put words to her thoughts…

It was only yesterday, that she lisped a sweet shrill…
Today her conversations delight me with immense thrill!

I remember her raising her hand to hold my finger…
Today I watch her move with grace and splendor

How she struggled to rise up and peep above the plank!
Now I feel proud to see her reach for the stars!

With an anxious face she had stepped into the school van!
Years later I stand at the airport waving her a loving bye!

As she takes a new step in her life,
I pray to God to always be by her side…
May success & glory touch the shores of her feet,
May with beauty & and grace, her soul be replete…

Are you sure you do not have a daughter whom you are talking about? :P
