| Rani Prabha with her son |
The day I was born
A mother with you
the heart leapt in vanity
Joyful tears held in sanity
A miracle of life in bundle
Wrapped secure and gentle
Inquisitive, I trace delicate
Lips, hair and eyes in sedate
A more of me again.
Divine charm dawn
Was it he or I in him born
With him, pains are gone.
Time sped or he grew tall
on my feeble heels I rise
To measure up with his shoulder
And proudly place a kiss tender
in joy he swings me
Despises while in anger
It draws had I known
So soon, my baby is grown.
