God's Gift To Me Poem by rinki nandy

God's gift to me

The weekend' s come again
and am on my way, boarded a train,
early in the morning.
My eyes are burning coz i didn't sleep last night,
and so i wear shades,
I'll be seeing ma again.

The person i love more than love itself,
the sun was shinning when i reached, i will be meeting ma after a fortnight.
I see her eyes, they are glossy to see me,
i tell her “ma you look so beautiful, so sweet and cute”, i hug and kiss her,
as if was dying without her!
like my physical absence in her life is due to the merciless fate and not my selfish choice!
is there a bigger hypocrite somewhere?

Her love for me is unconditional, she will always love me the same way,
the same strong love she gave me as a child.

These memories haunt me all the time,
tears she cried, the sacrifices made are unforgettable.
Ma prioritizes her children before anything in the world,
she may not be able to face the world alone,
but never did she let us get affected.
At times i want to question “why are you selfless? ”
but i stop myself realizing that a person like me won't understand the reply.

I know she doesn't like him, don't want to tolerate anymore and she will never complain!
You are so accustomed to suffering that you become numb to pain and it doesn't hurt anymore!
She is still trying, must be some force which makes her so courageous and
i am this useless, cold blooded audience who's made her escape from trouble land.

There isn't a doubt that God exists and he loves us all
that's why he created “ma”.
I spent two days with her and my heart's full of mixed feelings,
i am in a dilemma, i want to go and i want to stay.
If only the situation was different.....
if only had i the ability and the courage to make a change.
You may succeed in escaping from trouble land and leave the trouble behind
but never can you leave the love you got or escape from your conscience.
Everything comes for a price and we all are paying the dues i guess!

I look at her eyes, they are glossy again,
the weekend's over again,
and am on my way, boarded a train,
early in the morning.
My eyes are burning coz i got salt in them
and so i wear shades,
i will be missing “ma” again.
