Ups and Downs

Clock Ticking away
my mind is in a sway...
Do I just go away?
**********************
Pending tasks to be done
Tasks many but me just one!
Can do them only - one by one...
*********************
Freedom
Personal Space
Choices - do I have any?
**********************
Rough weather
Bloom or Wither?
Soar or Surrender?
**********************
The will to stand for myself
against all odds, whatsoever.
No more, no less.
***********************
One good thing.
I hear my murmur...
calling out to the forgotten God!

Things a Mom tends to think...

1. When you look at a healthier looking kid of the same age, - "This kid must be older than mine!".
2. When you see colouring, drawing or block items - you are reminded of the time\effort you spend picking all that stuff from your floor (simultaneously trying to make your toddler join u in that task)!
3. When you see kids crossing the roads without looking even once - "I will ensure my kid watches his step!"
