SOMETHING I LOOK AT-149

 SOMETHING I LOOK AT-149

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

            FEEL IT

Go ahead 

Don't look back

Your parents are right behind 

You may not see them

But they are very much with you

With your ups and downs 

Enjoying and enduring 

Your happiness and sorrow as theirs

Being part of your journey 

They silently feel your moments 

Even though they are miles away 

Hurdles will come

But you will be through 

Coz the blessings of your parents

Are with you

No need to carry them

They are where you are

They know time has changed

They know your constraints and compulsions 

They know neither they can be with you

Nor  you can be with them

They accept the reality as much as you

Just ensure that they don't suffer 

Take care when they need

Carry them when they are unable

To carry themselves 

Never let them feel

They are not part of your family

They are not in your thoughts 

Feelings and concern 

Don't make them foreigners in your family

It hurts, it hurts hard

Just too much to bear
