he standing tall on the patio,like a giant banyan tree
my small feet carried me to him,following an unsaid command
not for once did i saw on his face,what i would call glee
but that was what was in his eyes and not the dreaded reprimand
my pink report card in his hands,and 'As' in all it said
that day in my fathers arms,held high...........that moment.......she did it
the movement of a shuttle caught my eye for the first time
and my heart yearned to wield a raquet of my own
and then it made conquests a few,effervescent like a glassful sodalime
some good moments of my own,though silly but to silliness i am prone
still each time i held it and made amateurs run to make it
i knew with a chuckle,in that moment.....................she did it.........
then came the dark moments and restlessness which accompanied
grandpa was ill, and needed care and needed supervision together
when i was alone who could take charge,not allowed to get worried
i kept watch and took over,coz no one near by else i would have fetched another
but who knew that acquaintances praised the effort and applauded it
oh trust me that moment did show............she did it
the dungeons of hell have a cooler blaze and much more ease
the times of despair which i suffered burned me more in every way
disappointments,violating my very existence with no news to please
each day torching my hope to cinders like piles of hay
but still i lived and made a niche,even if small then be it
i survived,i revived and that moment proved...............she did it
when in those days of struggle and all that bleakness
i saw light and tenderness like lamp burning on hope
it came from my little brother,so young but not so in thoughtfulness
the heart filled with rejuvination for any calamity to cope
a small piece of paper with love and motivation cramped in it
holding the letter from my brother,that moment i felt.........she did it
when situations go wrong and beyond any measure
when i think no one will listen to me,but somehow they do
the words i always knew since child,they treasure
and praise me for my wits when i earlier thought they'll boo
a kaleidoscope of images run in front of my eyes and show it
it really proves,those moments................she did it
those moments when i came into her life and became so important
those moments when she taught me all that she knew and perhaps more
those moments when i uttered my first words and made her cry
those moments when we were all alone and she stood so strong
those moments when all was wrong,but she said it will me fine
moments like flames making her face glow,saying aloud...................she did it
she took all chances.she spared no option she knew
she not lenient with hugs but when she did ,squeezed out some tears
be it word of warmth or some hard spanks,always taught something new
she gave us life and every happy moment,stealing our fears
no matter how good or bad we are,and what people say about it
i can write in blood mother........you did not fail..................you did it
Shh...............
