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.
