You are my 'Sonshine'

By -
I told the breeze, the sun and the stars,
Who is my life and for whom I have come so far.
I live with him, I sleep by his side,
He is the reason, for which I survive.
At times he comes and holds my hand,
Then, I tell him where he should stand.
I will see him sail through and he will shine like the sun,
He is the man I love the most, he is my son.

Dedicated to one of the most beautiful relations - mother and son.

    I have always found the mother-son relationship extremely cute and undefinable in mere words. although it goes for all our relations..but there is something more divine in it :)

    Hi Saru,
    Beautifully expressed. It is true - nothing can surpass the relationship between a mother and her children. I liked this line: "He is the man I love the most, He is my son!!!" All husbands must remember this.
    You write very well and I going to visit your blog for such gems.
    Regards
    Vikram

    That is a great poem! We have to think about how blessed we are, or we'd pull our hair out. Truly touched.

    If you have the time: Read a poem I wrote at towards the bottom of this post: http://milkingtheissue.blogspot.com/2011/05/lately-ive-had-hard-time-focusing.html
    My sister just gave birth to a baby boy that is terminal with Trisomy 18. I wrote this poem a long while ago when she lost another baby with Trisomy 18. So far her newest baby is growing and has survived 5 weeks now. Time will tell.

    Thank you for visiting Planet of the Apels!

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
