my shlok baby...



When I held you in my arms for the first time,
my eyes were filled with tears.

When you took your first step,
I marvelled at your little feet.

When you spoke your first words,
all I heard was happiness.

When I took you to school on the first day,
I felt the pangs of seperation for the first time.

When you topped your class in college,
I beamed with pride.

When you bought me a gift with your first pay-check,
I treasured it in my heart.

When I gave you away in marriage,
I was elated that you were ready to create your own nest
although I felt you would be seperated from me for long.
