v2

You and I both cocooned in a cave,

sick but safe together,

that is love.

You massaging my shoulders, 

checking I have the heat pad on

despite you being so down,

that is love.

You sleeping, still,

knowing today I cannot leave you

to get on with the million things

outside this room,

that is love.

You trying on my wine red gown

I wore to my wedding reception,

for fun, because why not,

is love.

You and I curled up with a book,

with nothing but time,

that is love. 

You. 

You are love,

my darling daughter.

"வாழ்வு தொடங்கும் இடம் நீதானே

வானம் முடியுமிடம் நீதானே

காற்றைப் போல நீ வந்தாயே

சுவாசமாக நீ நின்றாயே

மார்பில் ஊறும் உயிரேc

"You are where life starts for me

you are where the sky ends

you came to me like the wind

but you have stayed like my breath,

you are my very life, springing from my heart"
