DAUGHTERS Aabha Rosy Vatsa
As I look back on life and reflect
I have an abundance of memories all decked
One more scintillating than the other
Befitting a stately queen mother
How splendid the discovery of an arriving baby
Hunting the book stalls of CP for a knitting book may be
Making a collage of adorable babies
Dressing the pink lass in sweet laces
The first tender steps taken to walk
And the evening strolls in the pram in the park
The first day in KG school
A whole plethora of memories pool
The first board exam and the accompanying anxiety
The norms of a prim and proper society
The exclamations and jubilations of victory
Motherhood is an enigma, a mystery
The heart wrenching work of a college admission
Filling forms, completing submissions
The sheer pride on the convocation day
It made every effort such a wonderful pay
The reigning anxiety of a life companion
One who would love and be a true champion
The thrill of all festivities and rituals
A never ending colorful jubilation perpetual
Today her roles stand reversed
I am the infant and the toddler has progressed
Taking care of my every need
Carefully picking out every weed
My girls you are my greatest joy
No, I shall say it loud and won't be coy
My greatest asset in life under the Sun
The joy, laughter and fun is exceedingly fun
