My Circle of Life

TO ALL MY LOVED ONES ......

Years in and years out some things never change in life –

Feelings that go unscathed despite the rubbing of sands of time

Vivid memories of moments that never lose their charm

Relationships  ------

Where I don’t need to justify why and what I did

 Where I would ask for a dua or hold a hand and believe all will go well

Where I would always be the little girl that could giggle till tears roll down my cheeks

Where I could cry my heart out on a trivial issue and never be self conscious

 Where I would look into those eyes and my heart would never seize to skip a beat

Where I would always be the most beautiful woman in the world no matter how many lines years have etched on my face

Where pride would always swell my heart as I watch my little ones grow into their independence

Where I would always be the source of strength no matter how tall my children grow

Where I would always be the one expected to take sides but never can

They are the comfort zone where time stops, where I can rest a while to absorb the changes I go through running past my days and nights

Where I can always be me and yet observe myself distantly and calmly as the sand in the hourglass rushes through the narrow hole

These are the treasures that keep me young at heart and keep me going in my highs and lows-

This is MY circle of life –

Where each person has a special place

Where each moment is alive in its own

However,

How much I cherish each moment I would not give up one for another

What is gone was part of me but no more

For I would not  grow to be ME until my past gave way to my present

I may lose my vigour but not my zeal

I am grateful to God - the most benevolent , most merciful

As these timeless moments lit my path to future

And I look forward to my tomorrows with new hopes, aspirations and beliefs

For deep down in my heart I do and should always trust Him to bring the best to me.
