Celebrations! Baby girl arriving
A piece of heaven descending
Upon ecstatic parents who are waiting
Cooing, smiling and her eyes shining
How euphoric and rewarding!
n parental tenderness, blooming beautifully
Inherent virtues, flourishing favourablyBuoyantly
vibrant teenager, metamorphosing magically
Lithe, lively lady moulding, unfolding gracefully
How breathlessly beautiful, this transition so suddenly!
Deft, determined lady emerging on life’s canvas
Out of the shadows of parental caress
Catalysing to compellingly desirable mistress
Celebrating wins, witty and voluptuous
How stunningly sensuous!
Years go by sketching contours of the middle-aged
Living through love, sorrow, fear, and hope
Journey of ups and downs sculpting her
Experienced, sobered, matured portrait realized
How mysteriously ageless!
Time fleets introducing a frail grandmotherly figure
Her reticent, sentimental, and feeble ways
Carving her into a contemplative, pious matriarch
Toothless, silver-haired, and weirdly wrinkled
How stupendous a masterpiece!
