A Mother's Everlasting Flame by Dr. Ayushi Chirag Arora | A Poem

In the quiet of the delivery room, a mother's heart did swell,

On the cold steel table, where life's stories begin to tell.
Through the pain and struggle, a symphony of love emerged,
As her son entered the world, her soul, forever surged.

Overwhelmed by emotion, yet strength within her core,
The operation table witnessed a love she couldn't ignore.
In a moment, the agony faded, replaced by joy so pure,
Her son, a tiny miracle, a love that would endure.

Two years have danced away, like leaves in the wind,
From the first tender gaze, a journey did begin.
Days, though exhausting, painted with hues divine,
A mother's heart, a canvas where love would entwine.

From baby's coos to toddling steps, a tapestry of delight,
Witnessing the miracle, in the soft glow of night.
Through sleepless nights and lullabies sweetly sung,
Her heart whispers gratitude for the love that's sprung.

In the echoes of laughter, and the warmth of a tiny hand,
The days unfolded, a story so beautifully planned.
Cherished moments etched in the heart's golden frame,
A mother's love, an everlasting flame.
