Thanks Maa! Trust Me, You Have Done A Good Job! [#Poetry]

This poem speaks of mothering done right, empowering a daughter to emerge from her cocoon and find her wings…

Thanks Maa! Trust me, you have done a good job!

In the nights of agony, you were my solace

Your comforting words Maa, led the flame burning!

All my fears, inhibitions disappear, the moment I think of you,

I know we all have to walk our own path,

but thanks Maa for being my torch-bearer

I know, my restlessness always worried you, still you never showed,

Never miss real stories from India's women.

“Come on, you can do it”– this is what you roared.

You know Maa, my friends say that I am so tough,

They queue up to take my advice and call me to solve their problems,

That very vulnerable and sensitive girl inside me peeps out and applauds-

and I can imagine your face brimming with pride & joy,

I chuckle to myself “Ah! What a transformation!”

You nurtured me with rich values and ethics,

You taught me to trust, when the whole world seemed despicable,

You taught me to be compassionate and to love,

I believe, this has really worked,

I can let go hard feelings so easily, and I can breathe…

I breathe to be free, I breathe to be at peace, I breathe to live my passion.

I am able to stand up for myself and for the things I feel are right,

Nothing can crumble my self-belief, nothing can deter my confidence,

I am no more brittle, nothing can break me down,

I breathe to aspire what I desire, I breathe for my ‘continuous evolution’

I promise Maa, I will always keep my conscience alive

See Maa, I am growing up and have grown up all these years,

I’ve captured my doubts, I have fought with my weaknesses,

I’ve followed my dreams and have explored my strengths….

Really Maa, your cocooned caterpillar is slowly growing into a butterfly,

A butterfly with spread out wings and multiple colours of life.

Maa, now you can heave a sigh of relief, just sit back and see me flying….

Thanks Maa! Trust me, you have done a good job

Kudos to you,

Love You,

Your baby J
