Covid appeared to be far,
Felt like a Bio-war.
China was affected,
Lockdown was effected.
Spreading across the globe,
Personal hygiene - a probe.
For corona is fatal!
Putting medicos in battle !!

As far as it was there,
Little did we really care.
Laughing at the Covid meme,
Forgetting survival can be a dream.
Stepping out with mask,
Has become our regular task.
For corona is fatal !
Putting medicos in battle !!

Starts with a flu,
Stays like a glue.
Draining away our health,
Which is our real wealth.
Spreading across the community,
Insisting on the immunity.
For corona is fatal !
Putting medicos in battle !!

Families became closer,
With offices & school’s closure.
Outside world shuttered,
Leaving public areas withered.
Amusement places blocked,
Hidden talents just flocked.
Amateur chefs & artists
Opening up their skilled fists.
For corona is a wake up call,
To let our negativities fall.
Let’s keep up social distancing,
For that’s the best fencing.
Life is not always a bed of roses,
Let’s wait to see zero cases.
Not to forget, corona is still fatal!
Let’s together fight this battle!!

Growing up in opposite house,
Destiny made me his spouse.
Started with exchanging looks,
Made us ignore our books.
Opposite poles attracted,
Board exams distracted.
Passed out with decent marks,
Actively kept up the sparks.
For, Love was life!
And Life was to Love!!

As far as it was infatuation,
There was always a fluctuation.
Years were rolling over & over,
Drenching us in love’s shower.
From schooling to college days,
Our Love found its own ways.
He became the Master (MBA),
And I was the Philosopher(MPhil).
The day arrived for graduating,
Putting an end to our meeting.
For, Love was life!
And Life was to Love!!

From sign language to letter,
Communication was getting better.
Coin box to mobile phones,
Our love travelled all zones.
Parents were breaking our bones,
Wondered Will I unite with Jones.
Finished our studies,
Blessed with best buddies.
Friends celebrated our love,
At times they were the dove.
Kept our hopes high,
Not to let our love die!
For, Love was Life!
And Life was to Love!!

Episodes of Tom & Jerry,
Made us extremely fiery.
Got into depression,
Putting love into suppression.
Our Love was fading out,
While we aggressively fought.
Friends came into picture of commotions,
Reminding love is a mixture of emotions.
A near to break-up,
Turned into a patch-up.
For, Love was Life!
And Life was to Love!!

Keeping up our firing passion,
Got into an apt profession.
While we started earning,
Oppositions started burning.
Marriage proposals started,
Leaving me completely startled.
As we convinced parents,
Everything moved like torrents.
We were hitched!
Hearts got stitched!
For, Love was Life!
And Life was to Love!!

Never in my dream,
I thought my soul would scream.
My soul that’s tired,
Hopefully it isn’t fired.
Is it still alive or dead?
For someday or the other, it’s fed!
When will I be?
A Mom-to-be!!

Eight years have already gone,
Womb still a deserted lawn.
Every women gets her blessing,
While I am still here guessing!
Is this **** infertility a curse?
When will I be?
A Mom-to-be!!

Longing to see a double line,
Not really easy to show me fine;
Dying to have baby bumps,
Atleast before my soul jumps!
Baby Shower is what I crave,
Before I get into the grave.
Sick & tired of treatments,
Seeing my hope go in fragments.
When will I be?
A Mom-to-be!!

All preggy news is devasting!
Babyshower invites are exhausting !!
Mother’s Day is no more a celebration,
Avoiding the possible deliberation.
For we are happy for them!
But sad for our own selves.
An array of mixed emotions,
Within us a lot more of commotions;
When will I be?
A Mom-to-be!!

Heart’s hurting inside out,
Our Faces with faking smiles & pout!
Irritated wit sudden moods wings,
After all they are infertility things!
Will I ever be??
A Mom-to-be!!

Tired of surfing preggy symptoms;
Longing to enjoy my kid’s tantrums,
Not easy to watch a mom & kid,
Wondering what sins I ever did?
Yearning to wear those dozen bangles!
Lost in dreams to see them dangle!!
Yet it’s all still day & night dreams,
How much ever my soul screams
Will I ever be?
A Mom-to-be!!

Fatigued with plenty of scan,
Done with all that I can.
Trying to figure out what,
The God almighty has got!
For Infertility is a disease,
That has ceased our peace!!
Will I ever be?
A Mom-to-be!!

Will it be atleast this year?
That i will be blessed wit my dear.
To get promoted as a Mother,
For which we have been longing together!
Sometimes with tears,
And Most times with fears;
Expected 2020 atleast to bring the magic,
And it has turned out to be another tragic.
Will I ever be?
A Mom-to-be!!

Should we lose our hope?
Is there any scope?
For Almighty is our ray of hope.
Why would we worry about scope?
For if it’s in our fates,
I will miss my dates!
And jump out loud in joy,
Will sit back and enjoy!!
For the day is not so far
Almighty will end my war.
We are fighting this battle,
Hoping to win like the turtle!
Continuing our prayers higher,
Keeping our hopes like fire,
Yes, someday I will be!!
A Warrior Mom-to-be!
