Who Gave Life to Whom???

P.S. - Dedicated to all the Mothers Who Once Preferred Daughters Over Guys and Specially who "Adopted" Daughters...

Chilly winter breeze and out for a jog

I saw her twirling around in the fog...

A small cute teddy glued by her side

But she seemed sooo lonely from my sight..

I felt to have seen her in my dreams..

And thought of having her at any cost..

Was she just a shadow I was chasing,

Or could she be a lil angel that I've lost..?

While she sat quietly on the bench giving me a pleading stare..

Lost in her own world playing with the bubbles in the air..

Papers signed and she was mine..

I felt the paradise on the earth when our hugs intervined..

People claimed that I gave her a new life...

But they were too blind to see that indeed I owe her my whole life

And now..

I have a house, but she'll make it home..

I have words, but she'll make it a tome

I am wealthy, but she'll make me rich

Just to a smile on my face, she goes an extra inch..

I am a woman and she'll make me mother..

Life will pass in this way, caring for each other..

Our lives were tiny buds, which have now fully bloomed..

Its really tough to say Who has given Life to Whom???????
