"Love at First Sight", a Spoken poem by Arundhati Udhari 

Love at First Sight — Spoken Word for Parents.

They say love at first sight

Is just a story.

But tell me—

What do you call it

When a child enters the world

And becomes everything

In a single second?

I was placed into their hands,

Hands still trembling from pain,

Yet holding me like

Nothing more precious had ever existed.

Their suffering didn’t disappear—

It transformed.

Pain turned into purpose.

Tears turned into strength.

Their eyes met mine—

No questions.

No conditions.

Just love,

Pure and overflowing.

No expectations followed me into life.

No dreams were forced onto my future.

Only a promise, unspoken but eternal:

We will walk beside you.

This—

This is love at first sight.

Not the kind that fades with time,

But the kind that begins it.

So this is for every parent

Who loves before asking,

Who gives without counting,

Who turns their pain

Into a child’s safe world.

Your love is the first miracle

We ever know.
