Joyful Baby Girl

 

I remember,

How joyful it was

To know that you were inside of me.

I remember,

How cheerful I was

To have nurtured you for 8 months inside.

I remember,

How dreadful it was

To know that you were dying inside.

I remember,

How helpless I was

To realise that I couldn’t do anything to help you.

I remember,

How painful it was

To know that my body was getting filled with poison.

I remember

All the pain I went through,

Yet I’m happy that you’ve come back to me again.

I’ll remember

This moment when they took you out of me,

And joyfully said, “It’s a pretty baby girl.”

THREE BIRTHDAY CAKES

 

The monsoon has begun,

And its my birthday week.

A normal, joyful year ahead,

Is all I seek.

 

I’m yet to cut my birthday cake,

I’m yet to make a wish.

But, I can’t help but recall,

My first baby in the petri dish.

 

My rainbow baby is ready to come,

And is jumping with joy inside of me.

She knows that she should smile,

On the birthday of her mom-to be.

 

Last year, on this day,

I lost my first baby.

But it’s her birthday too,

Says the baby inside of me.

 

I wish I could hold her,

And take her in my arms.

She’ll soon come back as my Rainbow baby,

After the despair calms.
