This isnt a poem nor a story..there's no proper structuring just plain feelings direct on paper!!! :) :)
In the middle of the night,
more than two decades ago,
a child's cries shattered
the quietude of the surroundings..
it was a simple indication
of the many sleepless nights u were gonna endure..
Yet Never for a moment
did u leave the child alone,
to hold her close was like a dream come true,
she was the most precious part of you
Over the years you bestowed love n care,
your unspoken appreciation worked wonders,
every achievement made your heart swell with pride,
the satisfaction on your face said it all
you were forever eloquent with your praise,
your criticism was always welcome
your faith and belief weaved magic
all your encouraging words shall never get erased..
I owe u such a lot dear ma n pa..
that words seem to fail me...
yet i try expressing something
through this trivial verse in my way...
your unconditional love just makes me feel
more and more blessed every single day!!
