My little one

 


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,

There is always a new blossom in me,

Every time you call me ‘Amma’.

The dawn is about to dawn, And you will be shown the way. Or, you will find your own.

http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/induslady/indusladies-4th-annual-international-women-8412/ Mothering – Changes & Challenges: A woman becomes a mother not after the child is born..but the moment she comes to know that she is carrying her little one in her womb.  Mothers have always been given a very special place, for what they do, is simply marvelous and there is no substitute.  Mothering in itself has undergone lots of changes over years.  In olden days,  the role of the mother, was primarily to take good care of her child, nurture and guide them.  But today, the environment in which she needs to handle them has greatly changed, due to child’s wide exposure and hence challenging. In earlier years, predominantly, the child grew up in joint families.  Most of the child’s development happened through what he observed / experienced.  He observed the behavior of the elders in the house and absorbed them, which eventua...
