Pain...From A Parents Heart

all the feelings arising in a parent's heart

Parents, you know,
are the first, and the best angels,
we get in our life......

They do everything for us,
but in turn,want nothing,
except the love and care,
they always have been giving..

So, here are the thoughts,
which i today,
want to share with you all,
on our parent's hearts behalf....

They give us birth,
but never say, that
its because of them, that
we are on this earth..!

They give us life,
but never say, that
its because of them,that
we are alive...!

Our mother feeds us,
with the first milk,
which you already know,
is so essential, for
the child's good health,
but she never says,that
its because of it,
that you aren't ill...!

They firmly hold our fingers,
and teach us to walk,
but they never say, that
its because of them, that
we today, can properly walk..!

They are our first teachers,
but they never say,  that
without their assistance,
we would be big losers....!

They teach us, how
to earn our living,
but never say, that
without their help, we
could be nothing...!

They are always with us,
like a protective shield,
preventing us from the harshness,
this world yields...
but never say, that
without their protection,
we could be completely lonely....!

When you get hurt,
they feel the pain,
more than you,
but still encourage you, that
it will soon be rescued,
without even saying, that
they feel it more than you....!

They do so much for you,
more than what, they can
actually do,
because, my friends,
they really love you.....!

But sadly, at some phases,
we do such things,
that we actually,
shouldn't do...

They care for you, love you ,
and this is why, they are
concerned for you....
But this at times,
becomes, a source of  irritation,
and disgust,
for the children,
who are so called...
'Grown up', till then....!

The love, care, and concern,
that they once gave, and
hoped for,
goes in vain.....
the gown up child,
now called, 'A man'..
sees them as a big burden....
and feels, that
life could be much better,
without their existence.....!

So, friends, let me remind you,
at this instance, that,
you too were, at some
phase of life....
Children...!
completely helpless, crying deeply and bitterly,
for the love, warmth, and concern...
which was later, only
given to you,
by your parents.....!

so why, in their old age,
when they have turned
emotionally and mentally into children,
you can't understand them..?
can't love them..?
and deprive them, of
that love and concern, which
should actually be given to them...?

and most essentially,
what is it, which makes you hate
them then.....?
is it their Love, Care, Warmth and Concern.....!!

But still, they don't won't hate you,
my dear friends,
because, you never know, but
they were, and always be your best friends,
who are with you from the beginning,
till the end...!

So, my dear readers and friend,
i humbly urge you,
please, please, please,
never ever hurt,
these lovely angels again...
and if you already have,
please ask them,
to forgive you then....
and you will be pardoned....!

and if you don't,
forget it, that you will
afford heaven.....!

for God never forgives the people,
who hate their parents....!

I think about on the bad I've done for my parents and still undeniably and indubitably I still end up doing it out of their spite. It's one to know when to stop and stare and be just a good son but I find myself having a hard time to accept it. Sad but a truly lovely piece for sure. :)

A lovely expression of gratitude and appreciation. As a parent may I say thank you for recognizing what we do. Even if our own children may not, as we did not, recognize it for years.

Beautiful Dedication Saumya

Another beautifully worded poem. You do, of course, describe ideal parents and children who may not be ideal, but will strive to be. You gently show the parents on their journey, and it is very poignant. My dad is gone, but there is not an hour that passes that I do not think of him and wish I had expressed my gratitude and affection for him more often than I did. You so carefully explain grown children's calloused and cold attitudes towards the frailties that may afflict aging parents. These are lines we should all take to heart; we don't realize how lonely it can be for them after we are gone, after one of them is gone. Mom has been without her husband of 53 years since 1999. That is fourteen years of loneliness, the fear that sometimes accompanies it and dealing with all things alone. I think the cultures that promote the idea of extended family structures so the elderly are not left to fend for themselves are promoting a more sensitive and healthy family life. But that sure would have made my life different. But these are words that we all need to hear, and your gentle poem should be shared.

very nicely done..........

Well I commend you for having a well written poem that obviously you put a lot of thought into, but it may very well be unrealistic to some. There are unfortunately, parents who do say things like "If it wasn't for me/us..." and children grow up unhappy and unloved. Secondly, I think with your positive attitude and way of speaking in your poetry that you may do well to become a motivational speaker, except for one problem. Your last statement is very prejudiced. I know you feel strongly that we should respect and love our parents, but to use religion to condemn someone is a horrible practice that erases any of the kindness you attempt to display in your poetry. Wars have been perpetrated this way. Secondly, it's naive to think that there has never been a parent who has done wrong to their child and in turn deserved a hateful reaction because of it. I don't mind reviewing anyone's work, but I cannot review something like this poem and not be incensed by it or condone its sentiments. Sorry, that is who I am.

P.S. there is a typo in this line, "the gown up child,"

I like the great wisdom in your words. I agree. We need to be thankful for our parent. We need to have the same love and patience they had for us. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Leaving out my personal trials as far as the subject goes... this was a lovely and thoughtful piece. Once again, I envy that positive outlook you inject into every piece.

[Sseoni]

Great poem! I really liked the raw emotion in it, seriously. I liked the way you showed how much parents sacrifice and care for their children, the love that they show them. Great job!
