Elixir of Life

a poem by Bindhiya

Ma,
   The tender whisper of the growing foetus in a womb.
Ma,
   The loud shriek of the new born in the labor room.
Ma,
   The lovely chuckle of the sweet little toddler.
Ma,
   The cry of agony when anyone hurts.
Ma,
   The sound of relief in every pain.
Ma,
   The excitement within during every appreciation.
Ma,
   The wonder word in everyone’s life.
Ma,
   I’ll keep calling you forever and always,

For you live within me,
As I am a part of you.
