The Future Holds The Secrets.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

A few decades back we had vanished
From our life slate as a person well cherished,
By the parents and the peers, being a parent of a few,
Had let our ambitions to have a nice sleep,
Inseparable were our tasks and our body,
Unavoidable were our worries and duties,
Untouchable were our leisure and pleasure,
Unobtainable were enough sleep and rest,
When we look back what we had done,
Many of us have had the good thought,
Forgetting those days when we told our parents,
That they always boasted of what they had sacrificed,
When we are reminded of the same sentences,
Should we have to agree with it as our parents did?
the future holds all our secrets,
perfectly packed and we will unwrap it.
