I Will Not Let You Alone Poem by Aftab Alam

I Will Not Let You Alone

Rating: 5.0


Mom, o dear mom, I have a dull and boring day, mom,
Dad and you, busy all the time busy, listen mom!
(O My son, Try to understand, busy for you only,
For your future and education, feel not lonely.)

This is not fair mom; you don’t have time for me.
I am growing, understand! You know, look at me
Tomorrow I will be young, for the joy and money,
Am I out of fun, isn’t mom? It sounds really funny.

When night drinks the tired sun, on the field, none
Except the dark shadow of ghosts, roam and run,
No kids are ever seen alone, none dares but they..
The shadow of the ghost, hug n kiss, sway n gay.

We the brook of humanity, keep the joy of fountain,
Sprout with love and laughter, nature we maintain!
If we didn’t cry, shout and quarrel and merrily laugh
No tree will ever bear, should flowers warily laugh?

This is the beautiful world, up to brim we must enjoy
Let you be the kid with us, have buzzing bursting joy
Don’t blame later? Now you care and share, be at home
I will not let you alone as you left grand pa and mom….

parents can get so caught up in providing material things that they forget the most important nourishment for a child is affection. that is the best way to feel loved. great poem, I could feel the emotion in it too.

Great write. The home has suffered due engagement outside. This undoubtedly is a societal bane. I enjoy the poem. Thank you.

A very good idea that has been nicely penned. We have a tendency to blame each other for having no time to spare but if we looked at the issue closely, we can see that we are the only destroyers of peace and harmony. The concluding lines are noteworthy. If we cared our kith and kin, they will return the same in our later life. Very thoughtful. Love and laugh - laughter' could be a better word. Bore - I think it is actually 'bear. Thank you.
