My mother’s lap

I opened my eyes

Found myself

In my mother’s lap

I cried, I played,

Laughed and smiled

In my mother’s lap

I grew older

But it was still mine

When tired,to rest

I climbed in the lap

When shy,

I hid my face
When hungry

She fed me in her lap

When sleepy

I used it as a bed

Warm and secure

Full of love

It was the coziest place

I could have

I am an old man now

But never forget

The luxury

Of my mother’s lap

The most precious

Possession

I ever had

Tears flow from my eyes

Makes me nostalgic

Whenever I remember

My mother’s lap

A Bird Came Into My Garden

A bird came into my Garden

She looked very Cheerful

Her beak was red and feathers Blue

Red stripes shone on the Body

Sound of her chirping lured me

I wanted to take her in my Lap

I ran after her

She kept on Dodging

Though tired but urge was Increasing

I tried my Best

But couldn’t catch her

Frustrated, I sat down on the Mat

I closed my eyes to take little Rest

I opened my eyes and was quite surprised

I found the bird sitting in my Lap

She understood the feelings,

 I had for her

Surrendered Herself

 To make me love her
