the birth of a mother ..

She lied there motionless
after braving through five hours of labour pain
she was in this sleep state after months of spending nights -sleepless
and that angel beside her with big blue eyes was her only gain ...

That night was a rough one
but not rougher than her husband , who only wanted a son
she thought of those dreams she had as a child
of being married to a man ,one who would treasure his lady-so mild ..

She was abandoned the moment they knew it was a girl baby
an irony - being orphaned ,after she became a parent
she thought it was a curse to her or a blessing in disguise maybe ??
and sought comfort in her baby's scent ..

She cried her heart out holding those li'l feet
but promised to raise her like a princess even if she had to beg on the street
As they looked at each other,in their minds having their images -graven
a beautiful story was being written above in heaven ........
