Poem
Watermarks of the time and tide! (Second part to abide by the word count limit) ------ My reason for living took a new meaning ever since I became a parent! Loving, sacrificing, and caring are the best ways in which life is spent! When you bring a soul into this world, you have to love that till you live! Never thinking of what you will get back, only trying your best to give! Your child remains a part of you, that you protect more than yourself! Your child's well being comes first, all the rest can be put on the shelf! Being a devoted mom or a pa is the ultimate zenith of your own creation! The sentiments that you feel then could never be faked by any imitation! You worry less what will happen to you, more what's your child's future! Will there be someone to lovingly look after the selfless way you nurture? As your little ones grows bigger, the larger and more become their needs! Just as plants need more of the water and nourishment than mere seeds! With time your vigor dwindles, as you slowly slither into your middle age! Though you don't have so much physical power, you season into a sage! Life has taught you lessons for years that have made you become wiser! You want to share your wisdom, though only few take you as an advisor! You get better at doing things efficiently, with your well thought out plans! Most of us would vow that it is the most productive part of their life spans! We've seen offsprings grow who've taken charge of their lives on their own! They have formed their families making orchards from seeds we had sown! We get lots of respect at work and in the society as we have achieved a lot! The story of our life has unfolded to its climax from where it began as a plot! Having seen our best years, we've started slipping into the precipice of old age! Before we were so eager to move on, now we are wary of turning the next page! We used to be so confident, aspiring to be in control of everything all around! But now we must pull ourselves together to get going, we've unhappily found! Sometimes ago we were always told we are fit and healthy, nothing to worry! Now we've started getting cautions that for our next screening we must hurry! We only had a pleasant rush of endorphins and adrenaline not that long ago! It looks likes that those jovial hormones won't be there most of the times now!
