Love Your Parents

As a baby, you were caressed and cuddled,

Once you grew a little, I even played with you in mud puddles,

Reaching adolescent, you threw your tantrums,

But ,I always loved you, despite the reason

Of your temper, I could not fathom

One day, you left me, as you became independent,

My nest became empty, I grew more and more despondent,

But, my child, now, I am feeble and old,

I too crave for your love and time,

Before I leave for my heavenly abode.
