For her...

dedicated to the mother i met in the bus 2 years ago... she lost her young daughter and son-in-law in an ST accident a few days after their child was born... the son-in-laws' parents said the child must go to an orphanage... but she didnt let them... she said, "she would be Abhishek's mother from that day and that while she lived, he would have the best home she could give him"... i was filled with respect and admiration for her that very instant... i prayed to God for the child's smiling face, her long and happy life and told her "he is a very lucky boy; he has you"... her eyes was moist...

holding him close
she caressed his soul,
she was an epitome of virtue
of love and strength, so bold...
he kept far enough
to know she was around
he wanted to be stubborn
but didnt risk the anger bound...
the bond exists, we see
it stretches out the pain
the feeling overcomes her fears
no care for the world of disdain...
a salute goes out for the bravery
a heartfelt wish for the love
the suppressed hurt emerges
and the next its put to shove...
she pats his being to sleep
her breath waiting for his next
all battles and struggles surmount
all fears and woes annexed...
