Gift from God 

A Seer you are with all-knowing understanding 

The world of Maya couldn’t stand before you 

All of us stood happy yet tense, awaiting your arrival 

Not realizing that in your vision, you had already decided the time and date 

Dams of our ignorance opened as floods of happiness gushed out 

On seeing this Gift from God—tiny, graceful, petite, and beautiful 

Doctors, nurses, your entire family hovered around you in amazement 

As the halo of your saintliness brightened up the entire environs 

The Lord of the Mountains and Snow had to bow in shame 

For the calmness He thought He had was a turmoil before yours 

The Lord of Breeze, wafting in an eloquent show of pleasantry, 

Was stunned into a silent whisper at the thunderous joy you spread 

The massive clouds proudly lingering in the sky were blown away 

When you smiled softly, rippling the brightness and energy of the Sun 

The startling falls of the smooth-flowing Niagara lay suspended in mid-air 

On seeing the torrent of vibratory power your magnetic eyes showered 

When one minute takes so long, how did one year fleet away, or did it? 

For every second, and even a part of it, we missed you being so far away 

Here you were lying in the crib, and now—you crawl, sit, stand, and walk! 

And we know that you know, how we longed and yearned to be with you.
