A proud moment - of a mother

A proud moment - of a mother

tears welled when i first set eyes on you
as i made the connection i felt a whimper in my heart
so happy and so excited that my voice quelched
suddenly stricken with anger as i could not move to hold you dear
but the sight of fragile self lead the way for a tear to fall from my eyes
i reached but in vain...
reached again and managed
managed to brush against your little finger
making my heart yearn for more...
i looked up and saw him.... smiling...
no one else but him... i smiled, however weak...
and made a gesture of thanks and happiness...
the feeling was indescribable....
and as i tried to express more, i slowly passed out...


This scribble is about my experience and the feeling i had when i first saw my baby. After c-section, I was barely able to move and all the laughing gases that i had inhaled earlier to get past my pain was catching up with me as i passed in and out of consciousness. But the experience was great! A tear never escapes, even after years, when i recount that special moment!
