Being Blessed...

...Is when you know for sure

There is one person who has the cure :)

For when you're dumped, dejected, stranded nowhere :)

Sick, befuddled, self-piteous, righteously angry, don't-want-to-care

... Is knowing too, how unconditional, how limitless, and how warm

How safe, caring, precious, those hands are; your shelter in any storm.

...Is finding that mother's lap, tucking your head down, snuggling close

Saying farewell, to all those things that are determined to make you morose :)

Being Blessed is knowing your mother.

And knowing, like her, there is no other :) :)

Happy Birthday Mummy!

You are the still point in all our turning, churning lives!

May we always be blessed to have the shield of your love

And may we always remember, we are because YOU ARE :) :)

(The egg-less cake was an unqualified success this time. Thanks to a Tarla Dalal recipe :P )

Golden

Rich harvests they say
Come from careful tending
Golden grain, smiling with promise
The fruit of sheer love. Mirrored across!

Careful tending, such as
Only you can do.
Together, concerned.
Loving, protective.

Watering with endless encouragement
Pruning, gently, when needed
Watching over with pride
Each stalk, each leaf, tenderly.

Stepping back, so that they could
Soak the sun, be part of it,
Stand upright, all on their own.
Their own. Yours. Ever. Always.

And steeped in a heavenly glow
As would a hallowed halo
Still there, bound in a
Circle of love, enveloped in golden sheen.

Dearest Mummy and Daddy
You're wished from our hearts
Filled with love, by your own.
Your very own. Us all!

Happy Golden Anniversary-



Dad and Mom
There's Viju, and Vinu
And me, Trips and Anu...
Archie, Arun, Lakshmi n Kiru n Chotu and Kunju...
Not to forget... awww... achudu
Malu, Appu, Paru, Kuttan and Chinnu!

Remember, your family adores YOU!

(on a wave of sheer inspiration, in school :D!)
(For 7th December, celebrating our parents' fifty years of togetherness!)
Psst... if you came here first, perhaps you'd like to go across to "Overdrive", my other blog, where I have another one for them there, called "Golden Moments" :)
