My Children Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

My children did not live
With fear or jealousy …
So they never learnt
To be apprehensive,
They lived with acceptance
And encouragement,
Hence … learnt to love,
Learnt to be confident,
And learnt to take shape
Of bowl like the water.

Someone of my relatives
Had predicted with confidence
My children will not achieve
The ideal human qualities
And they will not be
Able to pass high school.
But their hard work and
The blessing of well-wishers
Helped them to reach
Their targets easily.

I am very happy
With their performances.
And I believe from my heart …
They will continue it
For the lifelong.
They know … relation is
Like the auto-glass,
If cracks … can be repaired,
But it will never get back
The original strength.
