‘How often’, cried the universe

should I tell you my child

that you are special

that your tears are mine

and your joys too

for in you I thrive

in you I live

grin it and bear it

it will only make you stronger

coz what are your dreams

if you donot chase them

what are your hopes

if you don’t hold them close

come to my safe arms when tired

know that the flowers that bloom

the breeze that sings

the sky that brightens

is all for you, just for you

go embrace yourself

coz you are just so special to me and to you!

PS: To Janvi , in moments of sorrow remember that we are all but children of the universe!
