The Emotions

When started my journey

I am fully aware that

My stay at that venue is for a few months

Not more than six to be precise

I enjoyed the change of weather

Their affectionate smiles 

The kid's unrequited love 

I sang to him many more lullabies

than I learned from my mother 

Looking at his sleepy eyes 

I found a full moon bright

Teaching him his first steps 

I fondly recall his father's learning

I made him my dear parrot 

When I taught him his first sweet words 

Running after him 

I forgot my age and aching knees

He took an hour or so to have his bowlful of porridge

Becoming his Teddy or a bug's Bunny an elephant or a horse 

I clad the magician's coat 

In all these splendors

I never knew 

How fast the time flew by

Now it's time that 

I should come back to my place 

Carrying loads of memories

The toddler and I enjoyed 

The heart of a granny and the kid still strongly bonded

He and I can only realise 

How it feels to be apart even for a few months of time
