The little girl stood there,
Tears welling up in her eyes
"Don't go please", she begged
"I won't say any goodbyes!"
Fear overtook the little one,
What was she supposed to do?
A plan hatched in her little mind,
And what a tantrum she threw
At least that delayed the moment,
For a while it would be the same
For she wasn't going to be left behind,
And that was her only aim
She cried her heart out,
And screamed liked a banshee
She stomped her feet on the ground,
What a little genius was she!
The woman watching this for a while,
Now walked towards the girl
She watched a tear roll down her cheek,
Shining like a perfect pearl
The little girl sneaked a peek,
Looked like her plan had been a success
For she saw the woman come towards her,
And she quickly forgot her distress
"You don't want me to leave?",
Asked the woman of the baby
"Never ever", came the soft reply,
"What ever the reason may be"
"Why is that?", the woman wondered,
Curious about what the child would say
The little one's answer, she never could've guessed
It simply took her breath away
"Because whenever you're away,
I feel so sad and blue
I never know anything,
Everything feels strange and new"
"Because whenever you're away,
Something refuses to fit
A piece from a puzzle or a game,
And I always have to quit"
"Because whenever you're away,
The days seem longer somehow,
The nights more darker,
No moonlight they allow"
"Because whenever you're away,
There's no one there to care,
No one to kiss away my bruises,
No one to braid my hair"
"Because whenever you're away,
I never get ice cream or cakes,
There's no one to talk to,
Or to heal my heart, if it breaks"
"Mommy, so please don't ever leave me,
Wherever you go, take me too
Without you I'd be lost forever,
Because that's how much I love you"

Very very beautiful!!
Such a beautiful composition!!
Happy birthday to your mum from my side too!! :)
Wowowow! What a tribute to the lady in our lives on her special day *standing ovation*
ReplyDeleteLoved the post thoroughly, and got me reminiscent of all the stunts you pulled off at that tiny age to keep Mumma from going to office :p Had I been half as intelligent as you were in my childhood, maybe I too would've done those things to keep Mumma at home! :D
That said, I was left with a knot in my throat at many points in the lovely post. Plus got soooo nostalgic - time sure seems to be flying by with great haste. Glad though that we've seen such wonderful times in our childhood, been blessed with, and brought up by such wonderful parents, grew up in such a lovely family, and we're growing each day in love, defying age, distance and time *touchwood*
Take a bow, kiddo! And keep coming out with such beauties like you always do.
Love you tonnes!
Sometimes life is confusing, and you don't know what to do.There's a lot of pressure bearing down on you.
ReplyDeleteYou wonder where you'll go from here and who you'll be. Life fills you with heartache and uncertainty.
And I want to reassure you that everything will turn out right.
Through the darkness, you'll find the light.
The voice of your own dreams will sing in your ears, strong and loud. You'll become a capable adult, and make me proud. And you can have faith that I'll be there through everything you do. I'll always believe in you.
That small little angel with devil's mischief and the single mindedness to get what she wanted (even as a toddler) , wanted above all to keep me always with her. But now she wants to go fly away to a far way place to persue her dreams. I know it is right for her to persue her dreams but I can't help feeling sad and wish I had the single mindedness of that little angel to try to cook up some mischief and keep her with me for ever. I know, I have to let her fly away and spread her wings and to try to make her dreams come true. But I want to assure her that no matter what and where and whatever the situation may be, I will always be there for her whenever she will need me. So darling don't ever hesitate to come to me when you are in need of me. Just remember one thing always, you are my darling little angel no matter how grown up you become and I am very proud of you
I am so thankful to God for giving me such wonderful kids and husband. I am truely blessed.
Love you loads
Mumma
