Motherhood

A journey

Grow with the growth

Motherhood is a challenge

Giving yourself in many ways

For uplifting of your transmitted rays

Learning new things you never did

To make your child reach the grid

Keeping their needs before anything

The content of the smiling face, the pure joy it brings

You make all efforts

To give them the best

Their happiness is the reward

Self-motive goes to rest

The initial years

Of challenges & tears

A mother holds her child's hands

With tiring aches, boost him to stand

Nourishment of her baby with everything best

Messy Mama tries hard to excel on each test

The constant pushing & cheering them up

Holding her tears, eyes moist with false rub

When each new question amazes the feeling

Trying to answer, the heavenly healing

Bearing their tantrums

Letting them grow

The Anxious mind holds tight to its sow

The sudden changes in & out

Adolescence knocks with its moody shout

When the independent thoughts start to sink in

The friends connect is the major win

The anxiousness for all things big

The curious mind with chaotic gig

The independent child wants to break free

Set their own rules

Annoyed by the limitations

Try to rise through all inhibitions

The growth of a new circle

The shedding of old talks

When reversed is the rearing stage

Motherhood bears the shock

Unbelievable to be on the next page

The age of raging tempers

Many times, silent augmentor

The juvenile turns

the mysterious centre

The unaware mom sulks in her temper

When the growing teen shakes off her pamper

The flying stage

When the nest is empty

blank seems the page

The nervousness is not easy to calm

Letting go of our hearts

a dispiriting program

Many thoughts choked

Some troubling anxieties provoked

Thinking of the unseen

An uneasy mind can’t see the clean

Then, the inner voice roared

Do your best and let go of the sour

Stop worrying about things beyond your control

Keep going! It’s your challenged role

The nest filled with joyful tears

Now sighing emptiness with tears

The love & warmth of raising little ones

comes a sudden turn, isolation on the run

The struggles which drained

Along with the calmness it claimed

All gone to rest

Leisure now seems unrest

The joy in little fun

The anger & the arguing run

All things of the past

Time flies!

turns real into memories so fast

The feeling of letting go

To spread the wings

Aim for a higher flow

A tough fight!

But the growth must take the sight

Anxieties aggravate the plight

The phases of growing

needs distance from the sowing

What was once a seed

Gives fruit in an open field

Like a caterpillar sheds its skin

Only then can spread the wings

Don't let tears hinder the growth

Channel your lows to the productive oaths

This life of ours is a tree of change

Many times blooming

Along with the fallen range

Stand tall! Be any phase

We all have to face this life maze

Be the one who might weaken

but always stays

Go! Get it, girl

You are the swirl

The undiscovered pearl

You know your strengths

Not everyone can achieve your lengths

You were the fragile bird

Who can now make the roaring thud

You learnt the lesson

Rose above many recessions

Go! Turn into energy your gushing blood

The tough road made you strong

Should now echo your glory song

Now aim forward for the bright sail

You have risen from fails

Go! Get it, girl,

You can untangle the curl

Be the go-getter

Aim & act for better

The motherly instincts remain till the end

No pretence, pure love

Quality time is her wish trend

If only each child could get the feeling

Less would be anxieties

Way to old age healing
