Parents — The Only Love

“The day I opened my eyes,

The moment was still like frozen ice.

Like no other species,

Humans are the only ones,

Who need bringing up in tonnes.

An evening when I was traveling,

Saw a dad massaging the legs of his little kid,

The heart with feelings opened its lid.

My lips curved towards the top,

Went into the flashback with a hop.

Imagined my dad would have done the same,

Eyes suddenly started to leak,

And some drops fell on my cheek.

That is the only unintentional care,

Which I would never let to tear.

Thought what I had done in return,

It is all because of them that the respect I earn.

Missing my parents for a long time,

Pricking the delicate heart which is always a prime.

Mom struggled a lot to bring me up to this level,

Just want her to know, ‘Mom, Enough of the travel’.

Now sit back and rest,

As her son is at his best.

Want to tell my MOM and DAD,

Yes, this is their own lad.

It is time to exchange the places,

In life, you had for me enough of chases.

But now I promise,

Taking care of you is my only task,

Things will be at your disposal before you even ask.

Hugs, Kisses, and blessings I need from you,

Will be there for eternity through.”
