Memory

MEMORY Being deprived of Mom’s care and affection, my childhood turned a curse: Shame to mention! School closed early on recess one day. I went to a friend’s house to enjoy and play. Engrossed in games, paid no attention on time gap I reached home too late. Mom gave me a big slap. Normal reception on her part but on next moment, She burst into tears which I didn’t at all expect. She wept and said ‘Where had you been my child? I was so scared to lose you, where to find?’ I realized, behind her strong bitter harshness Motherly love flowing ceaseless in sweetness. 09/07/17 Bitter Sweet Contest by Kevin Shaw
