Poem
As a child you are a free bird Playing hide and seek, here and there Controlling a crumbling child is truly hard So your mother cooks up threats of invisible monster Your twinkling eyes may be fearless Designed devil may drive your distress, high Smile sprouting from your rosy lips may become baseless But your mother breaths with a sigh Your wrist may be tender In a crowd, she may drag you like a handcuffed criminal You may feel, as if things are out of order But mother ensures your safety as cardinal Your skin may be beautiful and fair You may like to play in the open sun To let you out, your mother may scare Fearing your skin may get tan Reading aloud restrictions, may get you to burst She focus to shape your life, decent She knows what may happen in the worst As every child is naturally innocent Only out of her own anxiety She may at times harshly talk She does many things to fit you into the society As raising a child is never a cake walk Each action helps your personality to build Parenting is an onerous task Every endeavor is to turn you as an effective child You shall admit later, if one were to ask She cautiously weighs each choice of your freedom With a reasonable rating of good and bad She chooses to tap her own childhood wisdom As responsibility of raising you, drives her hard She sets the path to learn When you win or loose, mother understands Whenever required, she tends to horn Learn to lead life, as your mother commands! Above poem is adapted from the eBook “BIRD OF PARADISE AND OTHER POEMS ” by Mr.V.Muthu manickam. Copyright is held by Mr.V.Muthu manickam.
