Like water....I flow

 When I was 18

I always wanted to foresee

What will I end up being !

Today I am 35

And like 18, I wish to forsee

What will I be at 50 ;) 

I never wish to go back

Change things in the past

Because every thing I did,

Was what I felt - was the right thing to do

At that time!

If I were to define my journey 

I would call myself a river

That went with the flow!

I have never stopped!

Even when faced with criticism 

When I felt unwanted

When I felt aimless

When I fell and gave up

gave up my most cherished things in hand.....

I never gave up on myself !

And looks like 

The writer of my story...

Levels me up....when ever I tried :) 

And I tried my best!

- my sister says this has come to me from my father - the character of not giving up....and giving the best shot when hardest hit :)

Do not hesitate

 

I do share texts, quotes 

With friends and family

But I never advice people.

Yet if some day....

If I really have to give some advice...

I would ask people to NOT HESITATE!

I will tell....them.....

You and I are here for a very small time,

Wouldn't it be better to share our ups and downs

Talk more.....

Learn from each other's experiences 

May be the way you feel

Is exactly how I feel too! 

May be you have cloudy days 

But I am all drenched in rain!

May be people around us 

Are...waiting for us to open up:) 

And we fear they will judge or 

pity us!

May be they are waiting for someone 

To show courage too! 

May be they are waiting for someone 

To show up.....just like me and you! 

Mother - a special being

 My mother says,

"Spend the first day of NEW year, 

As you want your whole year to be"

I spent this 1st of January

Lying on the bed

All sick and tired !

"Does this mean the whole year 

I will be sick ?" I asked her

To which she replied,

"No! This means now you should eat healthy, do some yoga and take care of yourself!"

***

I too am a mother of two

I know how many stories I make each day

For them....I am like a god!

They believe me and love me

Even when I don't trust myself!

Did God really sculpted MOTHERS..

With unconditional emotions!

Strength that no one can match,

Care that none can reciprocate 

And love that flows without expectations!

***

If a mother would start journaling 

No one would believe...

The countless emotional tides,

she experiences every day.

Yet she is there each day 

to not just survive 

But to live, laugh and love!
