The cycle of life
Our son Anish is now 5 months old. He recently
started to roll on his stomach and pushes himself around a little bit. From the
days of even barely opening his eyes, he now winks and smiles when we talk to
him.
The last few years seem to have gone really
fast. Akshara is already 5 years old. Very soon there will be a time when my
kids will venture out of my shadow to build their own destiny. When I think of
all this, my father comes to my mind. He would have gone thru all this and now
it’s my turn.
This is for my son Anish!
He arrived as our second bundle of joy,
That merry face made him an instant wonder boy.With clinched fists and deep shut eyes,
He looked like me in a smaller guise.
The arrival created quite a flurry,
Spinning our lives and filling it with merry.Those joyous moments as we anticipate his moves,
A wink, a smile, for any growing up cues.
There soon will be a time when the kids move from my guise,
To take on the world with their own grit, charm and wise.
I will step on the side walk, support and guide their way,
Like my father did, when I started my day.
