Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts

A Poem by Lakshmi Ramesh

Little brown hard hazelnuts
That's what woke me everyday
Her soothing voice calling my name
And handing me a bowl of evils
Hate I did those weird looking things
Those "healthy" nuts of irritation
But dare I ever decline her offer
I would be in deep trouble
For years she made sure I had these browns
For years, taking care of me in all ways
And now, I find myself living apart
From her love, care and remedies
Now I wake up everyday
Missing those bowl of nuts
Now I wake up everyday
Hoping she was here to scold
Her long lectures on nutritious food
I am definitely missing
Her sneaky ways of making me eat healthy
I am definitely craving
If she sees this she should know
Mom, I miss your hazelnuts
If she reads this I'd like to tell her
Mom call me everyday to remind me to have my nuts
