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. :)

[Shivam Murari]

Oh yes! It did touch my heart. Out of the various effective chords it played on my heart's wires, the line that hit the most was
"want nothing,
except the love and care"

That is so true. And not only most of the heartless, selfish and emotionless children care for them, but even forget them. The parents! The best gift by God!
Very well written!

I don't know where I would be without my parents (well I wouldn't be here for one thing)...even now, they are part of my daily life. If I have a problem, i call my daddy and he comes and fixes it for me. This hit close to home. I know people are urging you to explore the "bigger picture", but if this is your picture, then I say stick with it. I think the piece sings of emotion, and aside from some formatting things and a little wordiness, that I would personally change, this was an enjoyable read.

[WILDERNESS]

Could only read some of it .............. but really nice, good poem.

[InsanityWriter]

Very sweet. :) Good job!! I enjoyed reading this.

[Leslie Philibert]

true, but it doesn`t explore the very ambivalent nature of relationships in families, a good poem that makes it sound very simple, which it is not, sadly,...

[Kristin Lee]

A beautiful ode to parents. As always I love your positivity. Your last line cracks me up though ;)

[Mark]

Having parents, and being one, I can't agree with everything in the work.. (I've used the guilt trip more than once on my kids LOL) But it has a certain innocent brightness to it. I think you might overuse the ! a bit... and the work is a bit long (brevity is next to clarity)

Very nice sentiment though.

[Rita L. Sev]

I love the first stanza, that our parents are our first angels; very nice! The poem is a reminder of how wonderful parents can be. I like this message, though I feel that your last two lines are a little harsh. The sad reality is that not everyone has had good parents, and a loving God certainly forgives. Overall, a sweet poem, Saumya!

[SyberRose]

A lovely write from your heart as always Saumya...:)

i have never sired any children , but i have raised and loved several step children....through relationships. however, speaking of parents, yes, if you are lucky enough to have loving parents, there is no greater love. terrific write.
