Gift from GOD; Holding The Torch!

Letting me rule the day in tailor made dresses...
She always made my Birthdays-very special!
With matching new ballerinas and stockings...
Chocolates and sweets to shower my friends
with mouthfuls of buttery cake melting into bliss!
Most of all, it is THE day-
Declared free... from spanking!

A day, I try to test her patience and
THE extent of her love.... in my childish little ways!
I have gotten wiser by the year
In her selfless love that burned deep within
Just so that...we could emerge holding the torch
Of values she stood by- honest and straight forward
Fearing no evil, she held her head up
with shimmering aura that kept everyone at bay
with such respect and awe!
But, she held us tight-
by the hand-protecting in her shadow
that was once my whole world, and is still...
My peaceful Haven-where my soul seem to yearn
for that torrential love of my mother
To keep me afloat and rise above...
All the trials of life-still holding high, the torch
She passed on to me with pride...
Trusting me to succeed, holding my head up
In full honesty and conviction to see the beauty
In all GOD's creations-including the humble me!

Free Thy Soul

Oh! In shimmering self-made cage
Of steaming jealousy and scourging rage
Over- possessiveness and growing greed
Objects immaterial that steadily feed
Our ego, poor souls- thus, trapped!
Open the ugly cage-so, warped
Out… let pure souls free-to be
One with loving GOD, Almighty!

A Mother's Dilemma

I hope she understands...
I do it all- for I love her dearly
Lest she may fall or in way of danger
I scream to catch her attention!

I hope she doesn’t hear, just the scream
But, the pain of a protective mother
who wants the very best of the best
for her angel-the apple of her eyes!

The Apple of My Eyes

Apple of My Eyes -by VeerajaR


The name says it all
Apple of my eyes, I call
with every Red drop full
I love my little girl!

Answer to my prayers
A blessing from above
Amidst all pandemonium
Arrived like an angel!

With twinkle in her eyes
Wet black hair framing
Her soft rosy cheeks, A bundle
of beautiful genes-doctor proclaimed!

Reaching for The Heavens

The Courtyard Pillars

Standing tall in silent Prayer- they
seem to reach for Heavens above!

Poetry & Painting by VeerajaR

God Picked - Just for you!

One of a kind mother just for you
One and only God chose for you-but
One life for you to choose wisely-only
One way leads to heaven, trust almighty!
