9 months

It’s about those great 9 months which unfortunately don’t count in our age but yes they are part of our journey to life.....

 

9 months

 

One day I thought why not ask maa,

How she felt when I wasn’t in this world but a part of her heart,

How she felt during those nine months,

What were her feelings when she first felt me inside her womb?

And what were my heartbeats like when she heard them first beating alongside her heart?

 

She smiled and answered me in one word;

It was my REBIRTH, the rebirth of my soul,

I was not aware who is inside me;

Whether it’s a he or a she, but yes I knew I have to care for it.

 

I cared for you without touching you,

I felt your soul as if it’s just me not you,

I dreamt of holding you for long in my arms,

I wished to see you around me smiling all the time.

I touched my womb everyday to feel you grow,

I cried myself when you felt hungry inside me to ask for more.

 

When you first kicked me, I said HI,

You never replied, but I know, you smiled.

Those nights of pain, they are still here in my mind,

Today I’m smiling, talking to you, but believe me that was a tough time.

 

When you first came in this world, I hugged you tight,

You made me cry, you gave a new reason to live my life.

Those nine months today are like a story for me,

But they really changed who I used to be.

 

Today I’m your mother; you are a part of me,

We may be different today, but remember your soul is still a part of me,

You may have forgot to thank me for those nine months,

But I want to thank you for giving me those nine months.

This poem is so beautiful. I have so much respect for people who respect and cherish their mothers, and this poem is just so soft and tender; forged of the unconditional love of a mother and her child. I loved it! I am looking forward for reading more! Great job.

What I find remarkable, Raj, is your unique talent for utilizing incredible, heartfelt subjects and transforming them into such sometimes mind-blowing pieces of poetry. You give the reader, in each of your poems, something different to read - a powerful and profound theme about life. This is a very wonderful poem - very riveting, thought-provoking questions are raised that evoke a lot of emotion and sentiment concerning the connection between a mother and her child.

Thanks for the share.

Your topics are always intriguing... this is such a beautifully written piece of poetry indeed. What a mother feels toward her child even before he/she is born is extraordinary, and you captured the magic of that love with your beautiful words. What can I say, you are a true poetic genius. Bravo ! :)

Loved it. When I read the description I thought it was going to be from the point of view of the fetus, but I am glad you went this way with it. It really shows off how much a mother can love, even before we are born.

[raj24]
