Sunday

Silent Sunday,
Passing by !!
Looking out the window,
Thinking about the past.
Seeing the future,
In my children's eyes.
Hoping for all things good,
Praying for all things good.

Let's see what the busy Monday will bring.

Baby's First Football

On Super Bowl Sunday, while the kids were rooting for Green Bay Packers, I sat knitting a cool football for a fellow Etsian , http://www.etsy.com/shop/NattyKnits . You can even visit her blog here: http://nattyknitter.wordpress.com/

She wanted someone to try out her "Baby's First Football" pattern and I volunteered.
It was a fun experience, I've had limited experience with contour knitting and this was really a great learning experience for me.

Later in the evening, as the Packers were winning, my kids too started playing with the recently knitted ball. It's not their "First Football", but it sure is their "First Knitted Football".


Now looking at the ball I think I should have added a few more white stitches......Maybe next time !!!

You'll Always Live in my Heart

My tears will dry
My smiles will return
One day I will laugh loudly again
I will dance too some day
Maybe will sing a merry song
Life will go on
Things will settle down once more

But the ache in my heart
That your leaving has left behind
Will be in me forever
Behind every smile will be ..
A silent prayer for you !!

Dadi Aman (Paternal Grandma)

I will miss you.........forever,
I guess I'm saying Goodbye !!
You know I love you and will love you till my dying breath.
Be safe and happy in your afterlife...be yourself and you'll be fine!
I hope and pray that after I've shared all the stories you told me,
With my grandkids, I'll meet you in heaven one day !!
Thank you for all your love, I have it with me even now.
I'll have it forever......
You were my one true friend, the one who loved me unconditionally.
I will miss your voice, your advice and your prayers too.
My loss is great but my hope is greater !!
I'm hopeful that where ever you are you'll be fine and happy.
May all your kindness, your faith and forbearance take you to the seventh sky.
You were, are and forever will be my torch bearer as,
I navigate my own treacherous life's unpredictable path.
Dadi Aman I love you........

Suddenly I'm not who I was,
Lost, lost and lost I am..
My overrated self esteem is gone !!
I'm nobody's darling,
I own no one...
Alone in a family of strangers,
I find myself ...
No one is the same , no one recognizable...
Hidden agendas, open scorn
Is all I feel and see all around !!
Was it worth it,
The sacrifice , the loving giving??
Was it at all worth it !!???

The peace sign hat ,,,lilac

The tiny knitted stocking !!

Death !!

It is here,
It came knocking on the door
Dark, dense and seriously serious,
Death is paying a visit here
Life is struggling in his presence,
She is scared, silent and waiting
Wandering death has wandered here,
Near a bed where life does dwell
Sickness was not know here before,
But the last few days have seen it all!
Death has come sneaking in,
Looking, smelling, judging still !!
Life is scared but won't give hold..
Holding on to the last,dying breath..
Death is stronger, will eventually win !!
But for tonight the silent fight is on,
Life and death will so go on !!

The Third World Dwellers

Empty eyes and stomachs stuck all the way
To their backs.
Humble and scared ,
Asking for nothing more than ...ROTI !
The poor people born under some rotten star,
On some very unlucky day,
Into this hellish world,
To become, just, numbers in the population polls of
Their third world country !!!

I AM JUST A VESSEL

I am just a vessel.
An empty untried vessel,
Anyone can fill me up.. fill me up with pure water.
I wonder though if, the water will take my shape or ;
Will I surrender under it's pressure,
And melt into mud and sludge!!??

Let time be the judge of all,
Let time take it's time on me.
Maybe I will stay and hold it all inside my walls or..;
Maybe I will melt away !!!
