I penned this poem when I was in college- 3rd yr engineering to be precise. I posted it online 5 yrs back.
God Sent An Angel
Once upon a time,
A girl was born…
She laughed, she played,
She was as ordinary as other kids…
She learnt her lessons, she said her prayers,
She saw dreams like you and me…
She grew in beauty and vigour.
Her splendour, her simplicity
Always caught peoples’ eyes.
Her soft skin and straight hair,
Never went unnoticed.
Her smile was captivating
“How lucky”, they said,
“She’s so charming.”
She got married.
A woman’s dream came true.
Hand in hand they started a life.
She had lovely babies, she nurtured them,
Bestowed them with love and care.
God’s plan seemed to be,
A little different from her’s.
And somewhere down the lane she realized,
Alone she was in the race…
Trials and sorrows began to pile up,
Helping hands and sympathies came her way…
But somehow the support she most longed for,
Seemed to drift away…
She tried her best to hold on,
Turning her weaknesses into strengths.
Her determination grew strong.
She held on tightly to her faith.
“Until they learn to fly”,
She always prayed.
Her health was giving away…
Coughing her lungs out,
She continued to her goal…
The time had come,
For her to bid farewell,
She had worked hard enough,
Unto the dream destination.
“God saw she was tired
And the cure was not to be
So he put His arms around her
And whispered, ‘Come with me’.
With tears filled eyes we watched her
Suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her deeply,
We couldn’t make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hardworking hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.”
Her sacrifices were beyond Motherhood,
Her will-power crossed all borders.
She is most beautiful,
Amongst all I’ve seen…
And no matter what,
She will always remain with us,
Watching over us…
I can still hear her say,
‘I am praying,
Specially for you’…
