Back after long long long....
And I am writing here today because today is special, the day
my Amma and Appa got married 42 years ago.
And this is for the love of them…This
is a dedication to my parents, a dedication to all parents.
(P.S: The lines are a little clumsy,
please bear with me.)
Dear Mammas
and Pappas,
Remember the
nights when you were so worn out that you’d doze off in the loo,
And how, even
then, our slightest movement was enough to alert you;
Remember the
mornings of your lives when you sprinted to get us off to school,
And how we would
never bother much and refuse to play by the rule;
Remember how
you gleamed in pride when we had first won some little games,
And how you saved
those victory pics for years together in those frames;
Remember our
teenage years when we made you feel so low,
And how, you
never gave up hope and decided to go with the flow;
Remember the
days you were worried sick due to our spendthrift attitude,
And how you somehow
know even now that money control is still off our latitude;
Remember the
pre-wedding jitters you had before those weddings of ours,
And when we
showed those jittery sides you hopped in with those super powers;
We remember
the love you showered on us without conditions or confines,
And how we
failed to utter to you some minimum loving lines;
We remember
that we have expressed towards the whole world but you,
But that’s just
because we have always known that you’ll treat us as good as new.
Love,
Kids these days…
