I wish ....

If I could,
I would,
Hide behind a wall of words,
where raw emotions can be hidden,
hurt ego's can be buried,
and everything still seems glorious.

If I could,
I would,
bury myself in happy thoughts,
where painful conversations do not happen,
misunderstandings can be circumvented,
and cold snares sidelined.

If I could,
I would,
bask under a gentle sun,
wrapped gently in soft sunlight,
where thunderstorms and dark clouds do not exist,
and puddles of sorrow simply evaporate.

If I could,
I would,
watch an endless meadow of golden flowers,
sway gently in the breeze,
where no sudden bursts of harsh winds,
break the peace and tranquility.

If I could,
I would,
wipe away the pain from the depths of my heart,
where wounds are un-healing, and ever-gnawing,
and I forever carry the baggage of heart-wrenching memories.

If I could,
I would,
lay in dreamy stupor,
where life is forever beautiful,
and I'm never awakened by the rude awakenings of life.

If I could,
I would,
I wish,
I just wish,
that I could.

To my son, my strength,
 on his Seventh Birthday!

Arnav turned seven on May 12, 2012. Although his birthday is long gone, my heart yearns to send him birthday wishes, yet again today, in the hope that he will get them, wherever he may be.

Seven little candles,
   lit Oh so perfectly!
Seven little flames,
   danced in the wind gently.

An eager birthday wish,
   just waiting to be voiced,
A delicately yellow birthday cake,
   just waiting to be sliced.

A happy birthday song,
    just waiting to be sung.
A birthday surprise,
    just waiting to be sprung.

All things big and small,
    are awaiting you my dear.
We are waiting for you,
    every moment, every day, every year.

And till you return ....

We'll blow your birthday candles,
     but with a sigh.
We'll sing you a birthday song,
    with a tear in the eye.

We'll cut your birthday cake,
      with a heaviness in the heart.
But somewhere deep inside,
       there is a hope that won't depart.

Maybe ....

Next year, you'll be here,
      to celebrate your special day.
To make a special birthday wish,
    as your blow your candles away!

And we'll sing a birthday song,
    merrily, happily, delightfully!
And that'll truly be a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" ,
   as happy as it can be!

Happy Birthday, Dear Arnav !!!























Love always,

Mummy, Papa, Aarav
