That Lost Memory…

Some discomfort
A missed cycle
Doubts & Dilemma
Smile & Chuckle

One medical test
Confirmation granted
A whole new journey
To what we wanted

Little care
Here & there
Change in diet
Love & care

Daily worries
Took backseat
All advised,
‘Relax & eat.’

Change of wardrobe
& flat shoes
No more style
No booze

Ambitions forgotten
Focus shifted
Heavy weights
Not to be lifted

Walk slowly
Eat like a king
Listen to
Music soothing

Pamper yourself
With what you like
Only go by car
No rides on bike

Lot of fruits
But no pineapples
Loss of hair
Onset of pimples

No long drives
No more jerks
Forget shoutouts
Or hefty perks

Be on a joyride
Totally new
He & me
& the life due

Excitements withheld
Till it would show
Keep mum now
To friend & foe

Regular checkups
No OTC drugs
With close people
Wishes & hugs
-----------------------------

One ultrasound
Dreams shattered
One more week’s wait
Life cluttered

Prayers endless
Fear & hope
Emptiness & loss
Difficult to cope

One more test
& all gone
Dreams crushed
But life is on

It’s still the same
& not really
Hope of months
Abandoned easily

God’s will
Man’s frustration
Utter helplessness
No resolution
---------------------

A mom’s loss
Of an unborn child
To the world
The pain is mild

Hollowness in womb
Silence inside
Tears ceaseless
Only to hide

In a dark tunnel
Waiting now
Don’t know
When & how…

I can see
The light
& the end
Of this night

As a mortal
Can only wait
For God’s mercy
& the date

When I too
Will be blessed
With only love for life
& no detest
