As a baby I believe I did not much cry
As I grew, I did become a bit shy
My schooling days often left me with a huge sigh
But in college, I managed to fly
With confidence, conventions I did defy
Finally I was getting the fun share of my pie
Months and years rolled by
became a hard nosed career woman - not a lie
On my own i never met a worthy guy
However, the wedding knot, i did tie
My children became the apple of my eye
Accusations of obsession I did deny
In the month after July
Shocked when things suddenly went awry
With separation anxiety, I hated the word goodbye!
However much I did try
I couldn’t ask the question why?
Knowing it was tough to get a reply
I could only look at the sky
And ask for someone on whom I could rely
Like a spiritual guru, my ally
My all consuming question of who am i?
All my life lessons I did apply
My reflections left me high and dry
Who can ever help me testify
that perhaps I am what is left of me when I die
