When you were living in my womb, you taught me patience
Soon when you were out, you taught me my parents’ worth
While you grew to be a one-year-old, you taught me responsibility and bonding
Whenever you fell ill, you reminded me how important I was to you
And whenever I fell ill you reminded me how important you were to me
As you started to speak, you trumpeted the splendor of sounds in my ears
As you started to crawl, you paraded to me and made me feel proud
You made me laugh and giggle when you were calling me ‘cheema’
And how can I forget how I felt when you first called me ‘amma’?
And the day you stood up and walked straight to my arms and gave me a big hug
You made me feel so special when you cried seeing me leave for work
And refused to leave me when I was back from a long day
You trained me to stay awake and play with you in the nights
And stay fresh throughout the day thinking about what we played last night
And made me being skilled in raising you with grace
Every day from then on was special with all your pranks and jokes
How can I forget when you spotted an elephant crossing the road?
While it was indeed a big black buffalo!
How can I forget when you explained what a road roller is?
‘oh, it is something that is as big as my mummy!’
You were full of energy and bubbling with briskness
Always loved by your friends, never hated or cursed by anyone
You were the center of attraction among your besties
Although you were simple, you were a role model for many
I don’t remember you have an enemy
You were naughty and annoying sometimes with your pranks
Yet helpful and remembered as a kind soul by all
You spoke philosophical and advised your friends about life
Yet you disappeared so soon from my life
Leaving behind those beautiful memories of your 14 years with me
I will be counting my days in this world
Living each day recalling a sweet memory of us
Remembering the happy moments that we shared
Singing the songs that we used to sing
Celebrating every moment of the lovely life that we lived in this world….
