Oh, Son

Oh, son where were you all these years! I wanted to hear that sweet voice of yours In this lovely world I missed you for long time You were not even asking me in prayer times What has happened to you? You were obedient, honest and true What made you to be of forgetful nature? You schooling, education and everything was made very much sure You used to come and weep by my bed side I could feel the tears dropp and the words you wanted to confide I was helpless my dear son when you were just a kid I was moved by your presence and it spun my head I left this beautiful land on fateful day I knew you were dragged and taken away Your crying words still echo ears I could understand your pain and fears Years after years have turned into decades My memory is now completely faded You were not to find single second for mother What was reason for all these years to bother? I heard little fainted voice from distance I loved some words closely for instance You were asking for few minutes to talk How can I afford to neglect you and walk away? For all these years you might have been busy with your family? May be facing tough life for scaling ladder not available readily Yet it speaks of ignorance and ungratefulness on your part? The life might have brought you glory but what a bad end with good start Now you have found the little time That too after retirement when no one hears you sometimes It speaks of little childish attitude But all my feelings for you do not dilute For all these years you did not care To see agony on my face and bothered Mothers are still mothers and shall remain unique Forget everything even if lately offered kick I have no words to offer As not many people may differ Speak in different tone and not side But I am always with you whenever you face danger and collide
