Growing up

Can you spent a day without the care of your parents? Did this question pop in your head while quarreling with them today? Read this poem to know how your childhood differs from now.

With an innocent mind you took birth
Smiling you felt, it was such a simple earth
Your mother tucked you in her arm
You held her, knowing that no one can harm
Your attempt to walk just failed three times
But you kept trying, murmuring your rhymes
Even knowing its uncountable, you start counting the stars
You kept your mom's cellphone safely, knowing that it's hers
You were in the family picture beside your mom
You hugged her quickly, thinking that the toy is an atom bomb

Regretting you took birth
Now you say 'How complicated is this earth'
Now you are in your bed and turned off the light
Remembering about your mom and your recent fight
You shrieked because of the task you just failed
Now you think about prince charming with whom your heart sailed
Hoping your problems will be solved you gaze at the stars
You throw away your mother's cellphone knowing it is hers
You are missing in your new family picture and there is your lonely mom
And now you sometimes wish to blow her with a bomb

Author's Note

Just my thoughts on how people changes from a toddler to a teenager. Most of the time we start flying forgetting to thank the people who gave us wings. So stop whatever you are doing now, just stop and go to the person you love and say 'thank you' . see how sweetness is added to your life

Sometimes we forget the love given to us by our parents. A mother takes so much pain just for us. In the process of growing we ignore the fact that our parents are growing old too and that they need us. Though I have never experienced this, I know about all this. I would never want to behave such way with my mom. The reason they lecture us is because they care. We all want to be respected. The only thing they ask is love and respect, which most of us fail to give.
I really liked this. Full of emotions and honesty. Would love to read more by you :)

Reflecting on my own relationship with my mother, at times I have felt the later, which is difficult as I still feel those memories from my childhood and needing her for security...nice read ;)
