A SWET MOMENT WITH MY MOTHER
My Lovely Mom
Shall you move to my new house at Sea Lawn
Lots of facilities with lucrative modern amenities
The splendid lights & sky reaching buildings
Amazing sea breeze in the morning & evening
You will live with your grandson
with lot’s of happiness & fun.
Glamorous lifestyle & modern opportunities
Everything is at your doorstep
Nothing to worry for life necessities.
You are so old
Can’t resist to stay alone.
We would be happy
If you accompany us in our new home.
Mom Replied
My beloved Son
I love your care & sympathy to Mom
Don’t thing that I am at my old house alone.
I love to live with the Sweetest memories
Of your Father at home.
Many past memories of smile joy, sorrows & tears
Remind me every moment with lot’s of pleasure.
So many customs, traditions & excitement
Gives me a splendid feelings every time
On sharing love & happiness
Among the friend in the moment of fun & fair.
So much of hustle & bustle
Hue & cry in your home.
Do you think ?
I can resist & leave my sweet home.
Where simple life gives me the real happiness every time.
The loud enchanting prayers of temple priest
In morning & evening.
The galloping sound of cattle at dusk.
The sweets sound of koel in the early spring
Can I leave my small heritage,
Where the history of my life encrypted
In the minute sand.
