Empty nest

The scorching, tearing pain 

that I went through was not in vain

The moment I saw your curly eyelashes and soft face

That  was the beginning of my life's new phase

Your first steps and babbles

I still remember our little squabbles

you were a quiet but happy child

happy with a sweet, happy on a slide

falling from the cycle and running in the parks

waiting for mamma to hug you for those superb marks

when did it all disappear and you grew up to be a beauty

Suddenly i was reminded of all my mom duty

Look how the days just passed by

you out grew my lap and the lullaby

you are all ready to fly away soon

may you achieve the sun and the moon

The sound  of your peals of laughter

our long nights and your incessant chatter

I will miss you each time I pass by your room

you are so precious you are no less than an heirloom

Go touch the horizon and conquer the sky 

In case you ever want rest and to come by

You will find me right here baby , waiting by the door

your mamma with heart full of happiness and talks galore

It  feels as if my heart will explode into shards

but the thought of you winning all those  stars

makes me stop my tears and just smile warmly

daughter, you make us all so  proud, the entire family

This empty nest will always wait for you

This house and my heart will always miss you

Fly away my daughter,  to fame, to success and glory

your mother will forever be here, waiting for you with a song and a soiree

I will forever love you to the moon and back....
