SOMETHING I LOOK AT-149
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

FEEL IT

Go ahead
Don't look back
Your parents are right behind
You may not see them
But they are very much with you
With your ups and downs
Enjoying and enduring
Your happiness and sorrow as theirs
Being part of your journey
They silently feel your moments
Even though they are miles away
Hurdles will come
But you will be through
Coz the blessings of your parents
Are with you
No need to carry them
They are where you are
They know time has changed
They know your constraints and compulsions
They know neither they can be with you
Nor you can be with them
They accept the reality as much as you
Just ensure that they don't suffer
Take care when they need
Carry them when they are unable
To carry themselves
Never let them feel
They are not part of your family
They are not in your thoughts
Feelings and concern
Don't make them foreigners in your family
It hurts, it hurts hard
Just too much to bear
