Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses.
“My dear,” my mother said, “life is not a race.
Walk it with grace, don’t rush the pace.
The world may be noisy, but peace you’ll always find,
It rests in your heart, not somewhere outside.”
You live so gentle, speak so kind,
With only warmth in your heart and mind.
You never teach rules or give commands,
But lead with love and open hands.
You cheer our dreams and let us fly,
Tell us to reach for the endless sky.
Yet ask for nothing, give your best,
With quiet strength and selfless rest.
Now I feel blessed to watch you shine,
As Nani to children now yours and mine.
You have taught us care, with joy and grace,
And love that time cannot replace.
She leads with fire, yet bows with grace,
A force of will, yet soft embrace.
She speaks her dreams, a voice so true,
Yet holds the world with care anew.
She dares to stand where few have tread,
Yet finds her peace in paths well-spread.
She rises high, yet stoops to mend,
Not to defeat, but to ascend.
She lives within, in quiet delight,
Yet lends her ear to silent plight.
A storm, a whisper, fierce yet kind,
A soul untamed, yet well-refined.

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.
“Don’t you feel you’ve wasted time?” they say,
But caring and giving never betray.
The time I have given is woven with care,
In souls I’ve shaped, my echoes are there.”
A tiny speck he was, rolling on the surface of the vast and boundless world,
The larger droplet, kept pleading to be careful, but was generally unheard.
If I come to you he said, I would lose my identity for sure,
Nevertheless my love for you is immense and pure.
The water beneath looks alluring and I envisage a jump into it very soon,
Then who knows I rise in the night with the tide, when in the sky appears the mighty moon.

It’s beautiful to have a kid who is always a kiddo at her heart.
It’s an emotion beyond explanation, especially when this eternal angel is your part.
Hardships can’t stop you, you take them in a stride.
And as you successfully move ahead, my heart is so full of pride.
You are much stronger than you know and vivacious to the core,
You are not just another girl on planet, your existence means much more.

Friends we are, they exclaimed with joy,
Be convinced, you can’t parent us any further.
Dad and you, can now take a break from parenthood
We will make you proud, we promise, dear mother.

I don’t have anything to give you, he said, as I was leaving
But you have been a very nice mother.
So here’s a green bracelet especially made for you,
And like this one you will never find another…!!
Its made up of warmth that mother earth gives us,
And the love that I have for you,
But mom do you think these greens will remain after a few decades,
Save Soil is the only MANTRA from my point of view.

She hides behind me as she says, “I don’t want to grow up Mom.! “
Would love that too yet helpless I am, ’cause Baby that’s the norm.
How proud I feel as you walk through each day with endurance wrapped in poise,
Your exuberance leaves no stone unturned and your presence has its own noise!
From a little girl to a beautiful young lady my child, you have grown,
Each colour of life in its truly miraculous form, to me you have shown.
It’s the time to move on, accomplish your goals and fulfill all desires,
Sail smooth in the ship of life and get, all that your heart aspires.
