You Are Old Enough Poem by Asma Zenjali

You Are Old Enough



You forgot me son, right?
My meals, and songs at night
your runing to me when you are terrified
to wipe your tears that broke my heart
You used to miss me from school to house
beg me to watch tom and the mouse
but now you are old enough!
That you don't need me in your life
You always have work to do
dreams you want to make them true..
But son you need to know
That your mother misses you.
Life without you is sad
Your happiness is what i used to have
If only you can be that boy
Cries whenever loses a toy
Feels shy when he meets a girl
and Acts gently like an earl! ..
but hey!
I guess now you Are old enough..
So you don't need me in your life...
Whether i miss you or not
You never call to ask about...

The sad plight of parents is realistically and beautifully told! Once when children are old enough to stand on their own feet, they keep the parents at arms length. They never bother to see their hurt or pain caused through such estrangement! They say they have no time as they are too busy with their work. But in small interludes at least they should try to relate to their parents! A sad reminder!
