Motherhood Poem by Onku .ghosh.

Motherhood

Rating: 4.3


No one to rear
No one to reprimand
No one there -
My attention to demand.

No one to hold
No one to cherish
No one to pamper
No one to console.

Not a thing to do
Nothing to look forward to
Just ambling along -
Carrying the burden of life.

Life has become a void -
A journey through loneliness
Bereft of the gleeful laughter
Of my little girl

The girl has learnt to fly
And has flown the nest
Flown to a haven
She calls her own.

Her tears -
She has learned to wipe
In her joy -
I have scant space.

She has a life ahead
I cling to memories.
The future beckons her
The past is my solace.

Motherhood has been -
A roller- coaster ride
Had its pitfalls
The icing on the cake too.
Could I have savoured
Those special moments
By wishing away the pain?
