Thoughts that flow...

  Thank you, God Thank you, my dear God, For making me see You, The way I need to see You. From seeing You as a thing, Confined to a stone in the temple, To feeling You today, In the love of my parents, In the grace of my Guru, In the eyes of my beloved, In the laughter of my children, In the shoulder of a friend, In the magical hands of a doctor, In the kindness of a stranger, In the taste of good food, In the fasting I do, In the pink of my health, In the pain of my sickness, In the joy of my success, In the doom of my failure, In the light of my courage, In the darkest of my fears, In the depth of peace, In the peak of confusion, In the beauty of new relationships, In the lessons of relationships lost, In the unexplored path I take, In the paths I avoid, In the verses in my prayer, In the silence of my soul, In the colours outside, In the darkness within, In your creations of love, In the love of your creation… I ...

  The gentle smile when you are asleep, The half-eyed ‘Hari Om’ as you wake up, The noisy screams as you get ready, The never-ending tactics to make you eat, The matured look as you board the bus and say bye-bye, The disheveled hair when you return, The cheerful look after a happy school day, The angry look when you are tired and hungry, The naughty pranks you play with your brother, The tear-less crying when you are pranked, The tantrums you throw to get things done, The joy on your face while you watch your favourite shows, The grumpy face when it’s time for study, The fun you have when you play, The gentle murmur in your midnight sleep, The chuckling giggles after your naughty pranks, The bursting laughter that fills our house, The sense of humour that’s hidden in you, The caring love you don’t express, The strength with which you handle your pain, The questions you ask that I can’t answer, The divine energy that’s carrying you…  ...

  I knew what it is to be happy, But I didn’t know bliss. Until the day, You came into my arms.   I knew what it is to love, But I didn’t know to love someone beyond myself. Until the day, You came into my arms.   I knew what it is to care, But I didn’t know what it is to care like God. Until the day, You came into my arms.   I knew what it is to be in pain, But I never experienced pain for others’ hurt. Until the day, You came into my arms.   I knew what it is to succeed, But I never celebrated others’ success as my success. Until the day, You came into my arms.   I thought I knew the meaning of life, But I never knew the real meaning of life. Until the day, You came into my arms.   Beyond all that I thought I knew, There were so many things within me, which I didn’t know, Until the day, You came into my arms.   Thank you my dear son, For redefining my life as a mother, The...
