GOD’S OWN CHILD-2

GOD’S OWN CHILD. 
– ( Vanaja Ravi Nair, 2004)

When I realized,
God had placed,
A Precious Gift
With Life inside;
I felt a treasure,
Equipped with all measure,
To enjoy at its leisure;
How hard to fathom
My feeling of joy!

Oh, Who’s in there?
A Girl or a Boy..?
I never asked God,
For I knew for sure
That HE would send
The best for me
Ever to enjoy!

A gift of surprise
Months of suspense,
Kept me elated,
On top of the world!

Babe kept me sleepless
Tickling and kicking
Wiggling all day;
Cute and lovely,
Mine, so dearly,

I felt God’s Grace
Moving just inside!
I thanked and thanked,
For His Gift I treasure,
For all His kind
And generous measure;
Flowing ever
Without a flaw,
Towards my life
All along!

I talked with my babe,
Believing, its part of me;
I shared my love,
Assuring love.

God Protected it,
All the time, feeding
Through my blood,
To satiate its hunger,
So that it can enjoy,
His world full of wonder!

I sang for my babe,
So, it won’t be scared,
For I knew for sure,
It’s dark inside!

I joked with my babe,
All day long,
In its loneliness,
Sharing  happiness.

Nine months..!
Such a long time,
I am made to wait,
To reveal the suspense!

It broke at last
And opened the way,
Came out to this world
Quite unknown till then!

Reluctantly he faced
Life at birth,
Unable to cry
And take his breath!

With mixed emotions
And prayers in heart
I closed my eyes
To bless him right.

The doctors turned up
To help him breathe,
But I realized
WHO was that
Who HELPED him breathe
 With all his might!

I thanked Him again
For His Gift I got
Endowed with wonders
 All bundled in!
Doctors cut the cord
And made us TWO!
I prayed to God
To heal him soon.

Physically apart,
But  I felt
He is part of me
 And never be
 Apart from me!

Mere a few months
He was within;
Still I carry him
Deep within!

Though he stays
Now miles afar
Never had I felt
A moment, all alone!

Weeks, days and months
Have passed;
Twenty-three years
Have gone so fast!
It’s hard yet
To see the fact
I can’t still believe
To be apart!

Though he’s part
Of my Beloved,
 Came through me,
 With life Divine,
 At last, I have
 Come to realize
 He’s God’s Own Child
 Independent,
 As each and every

 Human Child!
