My Little Human

You made me believe in miracles,

You always amaze me

My little human

How do you do it?

 

Achieving milestones,

Growing tall,

Enjoying moments

Reading books to reading minds

Learning and questioning

 

How do you do it all?

You made me believe in miracles

 

The way you empathize

The way you handle new challenges

The way you have stop coming to me for small things

The way you handle difficult time

I never taught you this,

Still you understood!!

 

How do you do it all?

You made me believe in miracles

 

When did you became

So mature

So motherly

So, kind

So talented

But still innocent

 

How do you manage it all?

You made me believe in miracles

 

I feel truly gifted

I feel complete

I feel so proud

You make me full of love

By mere a hug

I can see me in you!

 

How do you give so love?

You made me believe in miracles

 

Time is flying and so do you

Keeping secrets from me

To sometimes sneaking around

To having friends around

To our quarrels and your opinion

I am loving it all

 

How after our fight, I feel you are so cute?

You made me believe in miracles

 

You are copying what we do

You are watching us

Taking notes of our move

If I write my dairy

You want one for yourself

If I read a book

You want one for yourself

You are making us a better human being everyday

 

How you have made this all easy?

You made me believe in miracles

 

I caught you always wondering

About what you want to be when you grow up

You keep on exploring all the professions out there

And then ask me ,

And I reply –

You would be  a good person,

kind human being

And you will make us proud

You can be anything you want to be,

When you grow up.

For now let’s wait

let me hold you for a moment more

Please be my baby for now

Let’s cuddle up,

Let’s embrace these moments

And You keep making me believe in miracles!

Pandemic!!

Pandemic!!

We are people from same land

We are born in same country

We are having same skin color

We are living in same era

We are facing samePsame 

          BUT 

Are we really same?

Some of us are working from home

Some of us are enjoying paid vacation

Some of us are enjoying time with family

Some of us are indulging in new hobbies

Some of us are celebrating this time

Some of us are cooking for life

Some of us are getting fit

Some of us are completing all backlog series

Some of us are scared to go out

We some of us mention above are blessed!!

Feeling secure at our home

Getting salary

Job is secured

Food is available

Roof is above us

Few of us are fighting for all of us

Few of us  are going on duties

Few of us  are risking their life

Few of us  are risking their family lives

Few of us  are spending time in hospitals

Few of us  are spending time on roads

Few of us  are spending time in offices

           Why?

To make us secure

To cure us

To keep environment clean

To help the needy

To keep this country going

To keep their job safe

To keep India safe

Some of us are blessed to have this few of us in our life!!!

Many of us are fighting a difficult battle

Many of us are unemployed

Many of us are Walking on street

with their children’s

With their luggage

No food

No Water

No job

No Money

No roof

Pandemic is like a curse to them

          ONCE

They were running the economy

Left their hometown to serve us

Left their families to earn money

Left their heart to serve the Urban India

          Now 

What we have given them in return

We have left them

          Crippled

          Alone

          Abandon

          Unwanted

          Helpless

My heart goes to them

When I see them locked like animals in some old schools

When I see them going on trucks like some goods

When I see them walking in 40 degrees of heat

When I see them starving for 18 hours

When I see their kids walking with them

When I see them loosing hope!!

NOBODY DESERVES THIS!

No human being should be treated like this!

Some of us are really BLESSED!!!

Some of us should do something for Many of us

Some of us should become like few of us

We some of us are really sorry for not realizing what many of us are going through

We some of us are really sorry we are not helping as few of us are doing

We some of us are really sorry to complaint during lock down

We some of us are really sorry to take things for granted

We some of us are really sorry to be so selfish

We some of us are really thankful for few of us for their dedication!!

We some of us will support many of us in whatever way we can

We some of us will support economy in whatever way we can.

Neha Mehta

Will you ever come back?

Its been a month without you Papa, there are so many questions which are not answered and are in our minds. We have missed you every single day and yet survived!! Never ever thought this day will come in our life so early!  I need some answers, whom to ask!

What had happened, Papa?

Did you already know it?

Did you think about us before going?

Did you call our names?

So many questions are unanswered…

Why you left us?

Why didn’t you stay?

Why god didn’t give us second chance?

Why didn’t you prepare us as always you do?

Had you been survived?

                If you had visited Doctor

                If you were in different city

                If you had some medicines

                If you didn’t take it lightly

Where are you now?

                Are you fine?

                Are you looking at us?

                Are you around?

                Are you proud of us papa?

Lastly, will you ever be back?

Time Flies with you...!!!

My little world are you,

I just want to spend each moment with you

Just you… forever and ever

But

Yes there is a BUT

But

You want to explore world

Fly high

Need individuality

And

I understand

Even I was like you

I would not be able to hold you back

And

If I would then I am stopping you to nurture

Time flies

Here you are now...

Graduated from cries to mumbling

From mumbling to Talking

Talking to being a chatter box

My love you have accomplished so many milestone

Graduated from Pram to tricycle

Tricycle to bicycle

Oh..!! You have grown so tall,

Graduated from nappy to diaper

From diaper to diaper free

Ahh!! That’s the big achievement of us

Graduated from mummy’s lap to daycare

From Day-cares to Playschool

From crying days in school

To wanting to go on weekend too

Congrats on that victory of ours…!!

You my little bundle of joy

I still remember the day when I felt you for first time inside me

When I hold you for first time

When you cried, 

walked, 

talked,

And

list goes on and on

But 

I promise,

I would always create memory for you (or me)

for each stage of your graduating years

It would help me to look back

And

catch few moments of past

Because 

Time flies with you my world..!!

Being Mother

I miss the feeling of being pregnant

I miss you inside me Kaashvi

Its not you its me

Your existence inside made me special

It was a bizarre feeling

I was on cloud nine

I miss you inside me Kaashvi

I had felt you the way no one would ever

We use to share everything

Heartbeat to hobbies

Food to Dreams

I miss you inside me Kaashvi

I was with you 24 by 7

I was protecting you

oh! Cannot forget your first sensations, heartbeats and kicks

You were so tiny but  meant world to me

I miss you inside me Kaashvi

I always wanted a girl child

Who will understand me

I use to talk to you 

You use to respond with your kicks

I miss you inside me Kaashvi

You were born as angel in june

Now have to share you with everyone

I cannot be with you every time

And yes I am possessive for you

I miss you inside me Kaashvi

World is good but still cruel people exists

I know its too early to tell you

Tell you about good or bad touch

But I have to I won't be around every time my darling

I miss you inside me Kaashvi

Sending you to daycare, school, outside alone

Just haunts me

I keep praying for your safety and well being

I wish you were still inside in our small and beautiful world

I miss you inside me Kaashvi
