Why This Birth.? Poem by v.m.saraswathy munuswamy

Apple of my father's eye
Youngest of all the five siblings
Learnt the art of living
Not to repeat the mistakes of the siblings.

Married life gave nothing but
Disappointments, disturbances, destructions
Miracle of child's birth
Topsy turvy the entire life.

Started to chase my dreams and passions
Just by seeing the smile on my dear hearts
My dear father and little son.

Once again hurricane and tsunami in my life
Demise of dear father, cluttered all my dreams
But just to live for the child's sake
I have decided, to face all the challenges.

Both in personal and professional
None to help or guide, but believed
In faith and determination and devotion.

Many times wondered why this life!
What amI going to achieve?
Now realised that god has created me
To help my siblings and my child.

Though burdened by responsibilities
I never lost the spirit
The inner energy, the guiding spirits
Of my parents, something tells me...

I deserve the best, and it's near my hands
Doomsday is over, hereafter only
Colourful dreams and happiness forever
I like to thank god the creator of me
Iam blessed to take care of few, wandering souls!
