Destiny

A tree of great strength she seemed,

With branches in different directions outstretched.

Her deeper roots sustaining her firm

Providing shade thus a source of comfort to confirm.

Day she got blessed with a baby boy,

A moment of extreme happiness and joy.

On life’s rough seas with many a storms she sailed,

Emerging triumphant and never failed.

Her love selfless and purest in form,

A tree under whose shadow safe from any storm,

His heart developed as most caring.

Like her forgiving and God fearing

They had a special mother son bond,

By absence of one they were equally fond.

Thus she grew grey with time,

Her love was always his prime.

Cruelty of fate that very day,

When he first in her arms lay.

Same day with a gap of four and forty years,

Laid her to rest with eyes brimmed with tears.
