Jay Narain Poet Free verse

Parent's Love

Did I forget my parents in my youthful days?
when I came to overseas for higher studies, 
Often, I would see them very lonely in dreams.  

In those lonely days, monthly letters brought a smile.

Often, I wondered how my parents must have felt,
To lose a son far away pursuing his dreams,
Those letters were read repeatedly on both sides.

I will save some money for the return visit.

Ever wondered how hard it feels,
when you don't see them for long time,
You miss their affection and love.

Alas they have departed; I miss them so much.
