MA

You gave me birth,
because of you, I could see the earth.

I always heard, 'that mother is life,
she is love and she is your best friend.'
I loved you, fought with you, showed tantrums
but realized the saying is true only at the very end.

You were gone, beyond the horizon
I long to talk to you, get a glimpse.
I long for that warm, comforting, relaxing hug
but now it is only a dream, it seems.

I miss you more than anything in this universe
I could not value the most precious possession
and that is why am I living this curse?

Please come back, come back once, give me another chance
So that I can love you more than ever, so that we can play, talk, smile, and dance.

*A Friend, I Had Not Known*

Almost ten years spent together

Said goodbye, and never thought would ever gather.

Life is full of surprises you bet,

After ages again we met.

I never knew this friend I had

Believe me, best of friends we have become, I and this lad.

We spend time, we talk for hours

He is good with the compliments that he showers.

Not just because he appreciates and cares for me

But the bonding has become so strong, I promise it will be!

He never misses a chance to motivate, make me confident or proud

I pray and hope we continue to be friend even above the cloud.
