As Kids..

Me and Bro' as kids

Grew up not knowing hunger
But still
There was a question
What would we have to do for the next meal ?

Grew up with education from big institutions
But still
There was a question
What would we have to do for the next term fee ?

Grew up wearing new froks and suits
But still
There was a question
What would we have to do for the next set of uniform ?

Grew up with no fun and frolic missed
But still
There was a question
What would we have to do to pass the next day ?

All these questions never even bothered to raise in mine or my bro's mind
But
SHE had to sit and brood over these all the while

Being widowed at thirty four
Is no big thing? if u think

With no education behind her name
With no bank savings number noted on her diary
With no moral support from any direction
With no insurance claims coming by post
With two kids, sitting there happy about bunking the annual exams
On the sudden demise of my dad.

Fourteen years has passed by.. We

Grew up not knowing any burden
But
SHE toiled hard and did it all by her own.
HATS OFF TO YOU MOM!!
