For, You are My Heaven

I too had a dream

Not of an uncommon kind

Like every mother does have

Yet I'm hoping against hope

Though shattered still I've something to mollycoddle

My joy knew no bounds

As you walked without my aid

I found my heaven in your titters

I enjoyed the virtue of being a mother

I told you to stick to the values

Yet I loved your fibs and figments

One askance was enough for you

To spill the beans of your trivial lies

My frowned face was enough for you

To promise me over a thousand times

That you would never be mischievous

In the nights I bore your kicks and cries

Yet I poured lullaby into your ears

To make you calm and comfortable

In the days I heard your frivolous complaints

With patients

Unnumbered were my sleepless nights and anxious days

Yet I was contented

For, you are my heaven

Now after all these years I feel lonely

Though I'm in the midst of the like-minded people

I know you are playing hide and seek with me

Just like old days

But I would pop up if I saw your glistened eyes

I know you will come one day

It is not my hope

For, you alone are my hope
