Mom, I have met
A girl on the Internet.
I think, I can't find another
Soul mate like her.
I can't believe it's happening to me,
Can I go to Holland to see?
I couldn't fathom my emotions-
Disbelief, pain anger all were in motion.
I didn't know what to say,
I could see there was no way
I could dissuade him.
The situation seemed grim.
Is this how it happens these days?
I felt ancient in many ways.
Someone you haven't made eye contact
With, or seen a movie while holding hands
I could see it was time to let go,
He has to learn from his mistakes and grow.
I am sure my parents felt the same
And thought I had no focus and aim
Now I understood what is generation gap.
The realization hit me like a slap.
I think I grew up that night,
And gracefully gave up the fight.

True, mamta; one has to learn fron ones mistakes and grow! At the same time, but for generation gap, there would not have been any development in the universe. (beads of rosary is on page 5, poem no.98)

Mamtaji,
World is beoming smaller and smaller everyday
they say now it is not even round, it's flat...
so parents are helpless. if you say a word against their will, you are obsolate!
in this period of cyber love and sex, what can we say? and we say the truth also who will care? parent is foe number one! bless them...that's the only thing you can do..

a very right way to accept reality...the elder ones have to vacate for the younger ones to take places...my 'A paradigm Shift has the same theme.
I liked the composition here..and the smooth flow...perfect and effortless....
