Inspiration #AtoZChallenge

Source
I sat on the bridge, staring at the sky, waiting for inspiration to come find me.

My mind played futile games with my never-ending thoughts.

Then I remembered how you looked the other day and just like that everything stopped. I smiled, closed my eyes and relished the moment.

The way you held me and kissed me, made my heart flutter. Then and even now.

Suddenly I sat up and held the pen in my hands. As I opened my eyes, I imagined your face on the blank paper.

But all I could write was - “I love you mom!”

  1. Mom's love, care and sacrifices have been a source of inspiration for me to write. Nice twist in the end :)

    1. Thanks Prasanna. Doesn't the word "Mom" or "Mother" itself instigate a lot of encouragement and inspiration in us ? :)

  2. Aw! That was very sweet. I liked the twist at the end because I definitely thought it was about a boy/girlfriend.

    1. Thanks Alyce. :) I guess it's a popular pick for the letter 'I' - Inspiration. Would have loved reading your take on it too.
