The unrequited dream that flashed before the hazel eyes |
Oh , the time of glory when her baby laid in her arm
half opened his eyes , and her face reflected then ..
A blind man could have seen her eyes signalling the ten million plans that lay in store
For a small child that lay in her lap , blissfully unaware .
She vividly remembers the tormenting displeasure ..
Oh she sighs , and revives the happiness she was unable to hide when her son ,
just a year old .. took the first steps without holding her hand
She wanted to run and smother him in her arms
Withdrawing her action , she stepped aside and smiled
"Leave me alone , I am irritated" her heart flinched on hearing these words
There was a time when her son and she , read stories together
she tapped his head slow and sang his favorite lullaby as he fell asleep
Lost and forgotten seems those day , scarring her memories
The hands of the clock ticked away the only time she ever wanted to remember .
"Ma" - How she loved this name , now she ceases to hear
For time has changed , the world has revolved a few more years
Her only reason for survival has detached himself from her arms
All she hears , is yells and taunts and sometimes she prays to the Almighty
What wrong has she done , except loving and protecting her son
"Its my life , let me live it " - her heart skips a beat .
But all she does is lovingly smile and look at her son
Runs her finger through his hair , tightens her lips
She doesnt want to cry in front of her child , so she runs out of the door
No voice , but gallons of tears escapes from her eyes .
The wrath of a growing son , with age seems to have become wilder
But she decides to keep quiet and suffer the unloving nature
Of her child she had lovingly brought into this world
But who will understand the unheard voice of a mother .Expecting love and affection , when she got none .
"After all he is my son ... " she says , and every flinch , tear and pain vanishes .
