Some Old Unforgetful Memories
My mother, pregnant,was in the hospital-bed
"A baby sister", her once again I reminded.
She kissed me and said," Yea"
"I'll get you one without delay."
Elders laughed at the promise given
"God decides those", they said,"not men!"
But I dismissed their arguments as utterly absurd
For I knew if my mother promised me something, she'd keep her word
(After a few days)
Many hands led me where a baby screamed
"A sister it is!", cried they,"that you always dreamed"
But I left the crowd and, crying, to my mother sped
"Why here?!", she chided; "I heard you scream more" was all I said.
