#Why Me, Son? (Poetry)

     Why Me, Son? (Poetry)

The caring in my Son’s childhood days,

The attention I pays,

Cared, nourished & brought up,

Now, Big Man as he is looked up.

                                                       Going away from home,

                                                        Earning a lot of money,

                                                         Moved to a big house-

                                                        A car greeting from home.

                                                         No Time for me,

                                                          No Space for me.

Invisibility my fate after his marriage,

Daughter-in-law not heeding me.

He forget love

She forget care.

                                                         One day,

                                                          I in Old Age Home,

                                                        No visiting me,

                                                        Bruised legs, long love,

                                                        Drooping back, long support,

                                                         Zoo animals we are visited

                                                         The search for the Son is on.

Am I nearing sunset?

It’s getting dark,

I know I have to go,

Son, love me…

Why desert me?

Why me, Son?
