MUSINGS

I need to plan craftily as he does to balance my time at homes and work

I long to stay with Amma soaking in her love and care

I knows she'll hardly have time for me like before with our growing numbers

Appa has treated me like a hostile neighbor ever since I voiced my desire to be his

My poor dude bears the brunt of all pent up hostility

I've still not made up the extent of my hate for my adversary

I now have to clamor for her attention and don't ace her list of favorites

My brother's care she equally shares with us

Her quitting will push us under severe stress,

Vandhu needs help in managing her chores and kids

She should have waited till Bala and Vandhu were settled with their boys and accomplished responsibilities

The irresponsible rascal shuttling between continents has burdened my daughter for sure

My two daughters are blessed with babies one after another

I'd love to treat them alike though their needs and circumstances are so unlike

One in luxury her every want sensed and addressed treated as the most precious being

Another taken for granted and accommodating every stretch strain pull and tug

I need to keep a close watch to see how she manages herself

Home we have folks to watch and care for her

Her diet and work is what I fret over. Work compels me to travel

Her emotional state perplexes me to the core

I cannot share the discomfort she bears physically

All I can do is be with her stand by her at all times

Simple pleasures of hers need to be humored

Her needs be met unasked...I wondered what she meant when she said I'd have to give up what I love

I can give up the world and all its pleasures to be by her forever

My lil angel I will miss as well I've grown accustomed to feel her and accommodating her between us

We choose to disagree she is convinced our first born will be a boy just as I'm convinced it's a lil angel

We have a few months to wait to hold our joy and time share her

We all await with our dreams and prayers and hopes the lil one ushers
