I am unable to
understand
what is the
reason,
that my dour
mood,
suddenly gets
ecstatic,
I feel totally
elated,
full of bliss
& peace,
like on seventh heaven,
when my dearest
one,
gives me a cute
smile,
giggles in
unbridled glee,
uplifting my
dipping mood,
forgetting
everything, brings
out a shine in my
eyes,
warm glow on my
cheeks,
bright smile on my
lips;
I am unable to
understand
what is the
reason, that
even if I am not
hurt
nor in any
discomfort,
I feel deeply disturbed,
my heart skips a
beat,
jumps out to
help,
unease grips my
gut,
when my dearest
one,
cries out in discomfort,
is in slightest
of pain,
opens his arms,
prodding
me to hug him
tight,
against my
worried heart,
as if to shift
his cry to me,
and turn it into
a smile;
I am unable to
understand,
has intensity of
my emotions
increased
suddenly, after
birth of my
grandson, or
was it the same
during
my son’s growing
up days,
I feel it may
have been same,
or maybe even
more intense,
as my son is Heart of our life,
the most precious
part of us,
core of our existence,
the difference being,
in those days our
mind
our time was
divided,
between career
& parenthood,
was more focused
in carving
a niche in
society for ourself;
I think I am able
to understand,
that distraction
of varied duties,
lack of quality
family time,
was the reason for
not feeling
intensity of singular
emotions,
now as we are peacefully
retired,
comparatively
more relaxed,
having more time
on our hands,
in twilight of our life,
to devote and
savor,
soak in the
emotions, related
to stages of
child’s growth,
what we had
missed during
our son’s growing
up days,
now as doting
pampering
spoiling grandparent,
we are enjoying the
experience,
seeing heartbeat
of our Heart,
the extension of our
life,
progressing and growing up.
