Maternity

Dr Alok celebrates motherhood, in this verse, exclusively for Different Truths.

Best ever period for a woman
When she realises the essence of her self
When she becomes complete as a woman
When she celebrates the task of procreation
Motherhood cherishes her being the epitome
Of God in human form, with flesh and blood

Test of a woman as life bearer
When she promises weal of the foetus
When she carries her own replica
When she takes utmost pre-natal care
Maternity glorifies her being as the sole entity
Represents God to sustain human race

Gist of being in feminine gender
When she bears untold labour
When she delivers the child
When she cuddles her child to feed in joy
Mother is blessed with the power of creation
Joyous feelings exult her heart and her entire being.
