The first sight of her…….

I was lying on a hospital bed,
Anxious, happy, hopeful and restless.

My eyes were wrapped with a bandage
To heal the ravage,
Done by that drunk driver,
All colors merged into one called black but still, I was survivor,

Then One day hope belled my door,
I couldn’t have asked for more.
Somebody wanted to give her eyes so that I can see the color
blue, red, white and amber.

So here I am asking my mother,
to read the letter.
The letter which was delivered through the doctor,
The letter inked by that unknown donor

“Dear,
I wanted to live, coz I loved my life,
I won’t blame destiny, coz I have no regret, no strife,

But I can’t fight this cancer anymore,
I had to leave everyone I adore.

But a wish inside me could never die,
I wanna see my daughter always smile

So now you have my eyes,
Through which I used to see her every day and every night

I just wanna see her
this is the last wish of a mother.”

The doctor was slowly unfurling the bandage
I was getting born again, with a new age
He asked me whom I want to see foremost
I smiled and whispered something in his ear lobe.

I slowly opened my eyes,
She was a cute little princess, with big eyes, curly hairs, a pure delight,
She was the amalgamation of love-filled past and a future hopeful and bright,
I fell in love with her at first sight.
