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!
