I got so emotional the first time I read this,
so I had to return with a more stabile heart to write a comment. This is more than a lovely poem. This is a tribute to motherhood and.. yes, those years that pass so quickly but never really pass at all! Soni is lucky daughter,and her mother; a talented wonderful woman who honores the bay with her glowing presence. Thank you Zoya.
A happy-sobbing hug ¤ Lourdes

zoya, the sweetest oozes from this writing as the sweet milk from your breast flowed for your baby girl. Those are the most precious times in my life, the nursing of my babies. What a wonderful blessing given to mothers. Nothing that can compare to the elation, the total fulfillment that comes with nuturing your baby at your breast. How time flies, but we shall never forget the special overall feelings of suckling our little ones. At least that is the way it was and is for me. Seems that you feel the same. Happy Birthday to your baby girl all grown up. Kathy

She's so lucky to have a mother like you! Hopefully she knows that. :)

India, Sweden or wherever else in the world - how alike we all are, even in the emotions and memories that come upon us each time one of our children has his/her birthday!
And, as always, you can express it all so well!
Congratulations to both mother and daughter on this day, hugs!

Zoya, Zoya...once again, your words are leaving me breathless here. You've capture the perfect essence of wondering motherhood, loving motherhood, happy motherhood, and needing motherhood...

The last stanza is gripping. The last lines are perfect.
