Happy birthday Mummiji !

मेरी पुत्रवधू रिद्धिमा ने यह प्यारी सी कविता मेरे जन्मदिवस पर मुझे भेंट की :

Someone who loves someone who cares

Someone who makes the day bright again

I feel very gracious

Coz few things in life are as precious

A morning cup of tea together

After a stroll in the garden

I know my day has started well

And I am ready to face my struggles

Talk about yummy kale chane or aloo matar

All I want is to lick my fingers

I see Her speed & efficiency

Her patience & energy

Can I ever get close to acquiring these qualities?

I know I will always have Her lap

When I am not well

With one affectionate wave of her hand

I will become sound as a bell

Her pearls of wisdom

Act like light to guide my path

I know I will never be alone

Coz She is around to hold my hand

I thank Her

For accepting me as Her child

For forgiving my mistakes

And making me a part of Her life

I hope She knows

That being with Her makes me love life more

I can’t help being loquacious

Coz few things in life are as precious
