My Son My Universe Poem by Mahalaxmi Naidu

(this is for my son, who was born on a new moon day)

The day when you were born,
There was no moon in the sky.
Yes, indeed the moon had come down,
In my lap in the form of you, my son.

The way moon brightens the dark sky,
You brightened our life with your loving smile.
Your eyes looked like twinkling stars,
Which removed my whole life’s vile.

You are an angel from above,
A precious gift of Almighty.
You are an answer to my lonely prayers,
With you is my life’s goal & destiny.

Thank you for being my part, my soul,
Dearest son, you are the one for me to adore.
Oh Lord, thank you for making me a mother,
Of such a child who’s gifted with an eternal vigor.
