My heart is beating slower br I can almost hear the heartbeat br Nervousness hits me in the lower br A hundred questions out to greet br As I bring you home... br br Will I be a good mom? br Will I be able to love you as my own? br Will I hear you when you silently implore? br WIll I rise above my emotional state and not groan br when I have to constantly tend to your chores? br Will I become your complete world atleast in the initial years? br Will you be able to overcome all your fears br and just place all your trust in me? br Will I be able to give you a sound foundation? br Will I have the inner strength not to flee? br Will I be able to fulfill your expectations? br Will I still be able to fulfill mine? br Will I be able to make you shine? br Will I be able to protect you from the world? br Will I be able to make you into a good human being? br Will I be able to quench your thirst? br Will I set aside all and will you come first? br WIll I let go of myself and then be able to reclaim the self? br WIll I have all the patience to listen to you? br Will you also love me through and through? ? br br As I sit and ponder over all the questions br And already know the answer br I will know only when you come in br All I will do is to give my bestbr br Renu Rakheja a.k.
