Devoted to you

Most of the time I’m devoted to you-
The almighty god-
But in some phases of my life I view
You in different forms:
As a child I was devoted to my mom.
She’s everything to me and I to her.
Then it’s my studies that I devoted to
my credits and merits for my career.
Then came the husband, my friend,
lover or whatever I felt at the time,
until the children came along,
who needed all my devotion, attention
my time went in their needs all along.
Now the empty nest life in new phase
the devotion splits between two of us
with the grace of the god, devotion resets!
