Sweet Memories of the Past

MEMORIES

I remember the day when I was young

With hectares of land to move around

I remember coming home from school

Running with no concern of what's around

I remember hearing my Moms sweet voice 

At the door step welcoming me home

I remember what fun I had

With no second thoughts of what's around!

I remember my dad coming home

With my favourite read

But pity... Me and my brother had to wait

Till he finishes his read!!

I remember my Mom sitting beside me

With a stick in her hand

Trying in vain to teach me

But Alas! It was out of my hand!

I remember our 'candle light' dinner

With all of us sitting together

Thank god! There were no TV's

To stop us from being together!!

I remember my Mom holding me

To tuck me in my bed

Kiss me in my head

After all the prayers were said.

I remember the happiness we had

With no technology to bother

We never needed a gadget 

To remind us over and over

I remember the days we spent together

The bonding felt so strong

The time just flew on by

And years began to fly

I remember when it was time for me to leave

Far off to a distant college

I knew how my mom would feel

& of course, she knew how I felt!!

I remember myself sitting in the corner

Dreaming of the time I spent at home

I remember so much of everything 

The way I see it on a screen

I remember the days when I visited home

Almost every weekend to see my Mom

Those 4 hours home felt so long

Then it felt like hell leaving home

I remember all the things she told me 

When I got my first job

She still whispers to me 

Every time I make a wrong move

I remember the day I met 'her'

And the times we had lunch together

Knew the day that she was going to be mine

& sure when my Mom said "Yes, My son..She is the one"!!

I remember our honeymoon trip

I knew its start of something new

I treasure those moments in my heart

A treasure more precious than gold!!

I remember some dark moments

When trying to understand each other

But I am proud of her for holding on

And working together to make it through.

I remember the day when he was born

Becoming a dad looked scary at start

But when he started crawling & smiling

Watching him was pure delight!!
