Aditya’s Birth Story

Aditya’s Birth Story
(Written in 2005 when Adi was born)
(Narration by Daada, Emotions from Mama, Elations from Didi)
Contractions kick up on the eve Hospital Bag packed and bursting at its seam
Everybody standing on their toes
Because after all only God Knows
This comes to pass when the child is about to be born
At midnight after Anu Didi went to sleep
The contraction reached its peak
A dash in the car was in storeWith pain difficult to endure
This comes to pass when the child is about to be born

Water broke on the hospital door
Hospital Staff rushed us indoor
Medical Staff ready at hand
And Mama in a determination to withstand
This comes to pass when the child is being born
Emotions swell up
Cup of Joy overflows
Across our heart there is a brand new dawn
This came to pass when Aditya was born

A silent prayer was on our lips
To hold the baby … O what sweet bliss
The last two years with our princess has been ecstatic to say the least
Now with this prince our family feels somehow very complete

Born on Dec 30th the day Rudyard Kipling and Tiger Woods were born
6.12 pounds and 20 inches long
With a nose like Anu is very clear to see
We ask you to pray that he grows to be
Outrageously happy whatever the case may be
