Mumma!

There I was sitting in the garden,
Because, chirping sounds were my love,
Birds, my family.
Animals, I knew none,
Puffy was my universe for dogs were my life.

There I was sitting in the noshery,
Because, that ambience was my love,
Mojito, my family.
Cocktails, I knew none,
For, food was my universe.

There I was sitting under a tree,
Because, flowers were my love,
Butterflies, my family.
Weeds, I knew none,
For, fruits were my universe.

There I was roaming in the school corridor,
Because, library was my love,
Solitude, my family.
Classes and people, I knew none,
For, dispersal alarm was my universe.

There I was sitting under the night sky,
Because, moon light was my love,
Constellations, my family.
Planets, I knew none,
For, Earth was my universe.

There I was in her womb,
No,no, nothing was my love and no one my family,
World, I knew none.
Her pain, I knew all.
For, the womb was my universe.
For, it was my way to make her start her journey of sacrifices.

And, years later,
Here I am under my own shelter,
Because, mom is my love
She, my family.
People, I know none,
For, she is my universe.
