This poem is dedicated to my son, Anmol,
for his "Dastar Bandhi" this month.


May Waheguru give him the strength and
the faith to continue on this path
this path of truth, love, faith
my prayer to waheguru, to bless him
with the love of his sikhi and
as he goes through life
holding on to the hand of the guru
he will be blessed beyond imagination,
on this earth and beyond.....

  GROWING FROM A CHILD
INTO A MAN
FROM A CUB TO A
LION
A KHALSA IN ALL YOUR GLORY..

I AWAITED THIS BLESSED DAY
WHEN I COULD SEE YOU, MY SON.....

IN A TURBAN.........
LOOKING MAJESTIC IN ALL YOUR GLORY

SON OF GURU GOBIND
PROUD TO BE A SINGH......

AS THE LAYERS OF THE TURBAN
CROWN YOUR FACE
I BEGIN TO THANK
WAHEGURU FOR HIS GRACE....

I PRAY FOR YOUR HAPPINESS AND SOLACE
AS YOU CROWN THE TURBAN EVERY MORNING
MAY IT REMIND YOU OF THE HARD EARNED SIKHI
THE SACRIFICES, THE COUNTLESS MARYTRS...
THOSE THAT GAVE UP THEIR LIVES
BUT NOT THEIR FAITH......

MAY HAPPINESS BE WITH YOU
MAY SIMRAN BE PART OF YOU
DO NOT LET NEGATIVITY BRING YOU DOWN
FOR YOU HAVE THE GURU
YOU ARE NOT ALONE,...... WAHEGURU..
HAS YOU PROTECTED....THROUGH AND THROUGH...

AND YES I AM PROUD TO BE A MOTHER..

MOTHER OF A SINGH..
HEAD HELD HIGH,..... AS YOU WALK
THROUGH THE MAZE OF THIS LIFE
THROUGH THICK AND THIN..

YOU WILL COME OUT VICTORIOUS
IN EVERY SPHERE OF LIFE
IF YOU KNOW YOUR IDENTITY
AND THE DISCIPLINE OF BEING A SINGH...

MY EYES MIST WITH TEARS
AS I SEE YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME

WITH A TURBAN....
AND A DETERMINATION....

TO FOLLOW THE FOOT STEPS OF
OUR GURU, GURU GOBIND SINGH....

REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE SON....
OF THE ONE THAT GAVE UP HIS 'SARBANS'
FOR THE KHALSA
THE 'NYARA' KHALSA
WITH THE BLOOD OF HIS OWN, HIS SIKHS,
AND HIS OWN KIN.....

GO, MY SON, INTO YOUR LIFE
FOR YOU HAVE GROWN
INTO A 'KING'
I HAVE NO WORRIES

FOR GURU,....GURU GOBIND SINGH
IS WITH YOU
THROUGH THE TURMOILS OF THICK AND THIN..
I SMILE, AND CRY IN AWE...


AS YOU WALK DOWN THE PATH...

A 'KHALSA' IN ALL YOUR GLORY....

VANINDER (LOVEY) KAUR
