14 years ago, at this time I was in the hospital on the bed screaming in pain. Yes, I was in labor with you in my tummy all excited to get out. And today, you don't even fit in my lap! This journey from "Mom, I only get sleep when you cuddle me" to "Mom, you are so touchy", this journey from "Oh my baby" to "hi babes" has been the fastest 14 years ever of my life. Even we have grown as parents and cherish every moment spent with you. And like every year, let me get back the mom in me and advice you on few things but today I shall try the poetic way:
Hold fast to your dreams,
Never loose the drive to make a effort,
Never loose the drive to make a progress forward,
Never loose the drive to work hard,
Never loose the drive to be a team player,
Never loose the drive to learn from loosing,
Never loose the drive to celebrate your wins,
Cause you shall hold fast to your dreams.
Hold fast to your dream,
Let your dreams just not remain dreams,
Let your dreams have wings to fly high,
Let your dreams reflect your aspirations,
Let your dreams make your more responsible,
Let your dreams not stress you out,
Let your dreams have broader impact on mankind,
Let your dreams make you dream more,
Cause you shall hold fast to your dream.
Hold fast to your dream,
Be aimed and focus to achieve them,
Yet not compromising on ethical boundaries,
Be vigilant enough of people not aligned,
Yet respecting them for their view points,
Be passionate to get closer to the goal,
Yet accept that you tried your best to accomplish,
Be patient enough to see the result,
Yet agile enough to change the course,
Cause you shall hold fast to your dream.
Hold fast to your dream,
Some are big, some are small,
Some are tiring, you cant have them all,
Some come true, some will make you fall,
Some are possible, definitely not all,
Some will shatter you, some shall be a call,
Still you continue to dream, knowing you shall not have them all,
Cause you shall hold fast to your dream.
Hold fast to your dream,
Hit, run, loose, hustle,
Act, accept, admit, amuse,
Balance, attract, applaud, announce,
Challenge, dance, dive, celebrate,
Develop, earn, encourage, extend,
Inspect, improve, influence, impress,
Operate, learn, operate, juggle,
Cause you shall hold fast to your dream.
Happy Birthday Siya and have loads and loads of fun!
