Ma-माँ

A soul was ready

to wear a new body

and take its place on earth

it looked at God and smiled nervously

God smiled back and asked

Dear I sense anxiety in your core

Is it because your new life awaits you on earth

Soul nodded and waited anxiously for more

God knew it and so He  asked

what is that one thing you would love to have when you go there

The soul asked for love,for hug,for warmth,for freedom,

for a Friend,for a mentor,for inspiration

it asked God for someone

who would take care of it as much and as well as

a root would of its leaves and flowers

God looked at the soul and chuckled

and said already a human haan

well why don’t I do one thing

make all your wishes come true with one precious gift

really- asked the surprised Soul

I cant wait to see what it would be

and the soul opened its eyes in a tiny little body

and That day for first time  I saw my Gift

My MOTHER

for a soul knows no such difference it comes to this world hoping for a new beginning
