From morning To night
I rush through life
That is a chaos
Created on my own choice
I know my precious one
You want me
Just to be with you
Hold your hand
Cradle you into sleep
Just to be with you
And marvel at your
Gestures that you learn everyday
The first instance you smiled
The first words you uttered
The first step you took
You want me
To play with you
And be like you
Innocent, full of marvel
And wonder at the world
But somehow I am caught up
In this web of responsibilities and obligations
Everything has become a “task”
To get over with
To complete
To finish
Sometimes even caring for you
Becomes a mere activity
But today my dear
I leave everything
I close my computer
Turn off my phone
And just take that walk
I have wanted to take since long
I will walk with you outside the door
Holding your little hands
I will let you take me
where you want
I will be beside you
To see things that you discover
and point out in the way
I might forget camera
But I will remember
Your pure, selfless smile
In my heart
And keep it there
To keep me sane enough
To rejoin the crazy hectic world again
Simple words, profound sentiment. Even when you decided to take time out for yourself, you went for a walk with your son. For you, it was so natural, where you did not even think of going alone. Thus, your words underline the fact that the greatest odyssey of life is motherhood.
