Now A Mother! Poem by Chaithya Aiyappa

Before I start, please hold your lungs,
It's a journey fueled with love in tons,
of who gets a reward worth nine long months,
Yes, it's 'her' story, daughters and sons.

Staggered by the Happiest news ever,
She shunned the world to quietly disappear.
Moving her hands on her belly, like a feather,
She whispered, 'my dear, are u here? '

Neither her religion nor her Nation,
Were stronger then this soul deep connection,
After years of prayer and sincere meditation,
She felt the greatest power of creation.

She spent long nights which were sleepless,
Had tearing back and morning sickness,
But all these complications were mostly painless,
Because she found her little strength over her weakness.

Some little things in this bundle of joy,
Were questions regarding, girl or boy,
and how the baby would laugh and cry,
Were some thoughts which she couldn't deny.

Choosing best layette from the baby bazaar,
Such as diapers, goodies and kiddie car,
She eagerly anticipated to see her star,
Who feels so close yet so far.

Months flipped down to the last card,
The first cry, echoed the ward,
As they were seperated by the umbilical cord,
She got the most beautiful reward.

Feeling the map of her nerves beneath her hand,
Her name, her fame, her money, her land,
bent down on thier knees as they failed to withstand,
The joy that was splashed as she dived in her wonderland.

No king, no Queen, no Law above her
The Earth, The wind, The fire, The water,
All the miracles put together
She was once a women, now a Mother!
