I am Moshe. Two-year old curly haired little one <br /> <br />Just the other day I was with my mom and dad <br /> <br />An unfamiliar person entered our premises and <br />He had a lot to say to my parents <br />Of which I could not make out a bit <br /> <br />Then what happened? <br />The stranger aimed at my parents the weapon he carried <br />It was all in seconds ny parents fell back, <br />First my mom. followed by my dad <br /> <br />The stranger left <br />I had no idea Whether he marked my presence <br /> <br />I reached my mom. ran my palm over her face and <br />bent over her for an affectionate kiss <br />Normally she used to hug me intently for a similar act of mine <br />But she did not move. I shook her head. no response <br />I shook her hand. no response <br /> <br />And I saw a pool of blood below her motionless hand. <br />Which held my father’s <br /> <br />I felt something odd <br />And started crying <br /> <br />Do not know. how long I cried <br />When my nanny appeared from somewhere <br />And took me away into the open <br /> <br />It did not take long for me to realise <br />That my mom and dad are not any where near <br />I ate whatever offered as I was hungry <br />Woke up in between. <br />Only to know that my parents are not nearby <br />And then to cry <br /> <br />During my entire wakeful hours <br />I kept crying and <br />I kept eating something <br />As and when I felt hungry <br /> <br />Suddenly I was in the midst of a big gathering <br />Only my nanny was to be seen <br /> <br />The things that went on made me understand that my <br />Mom and dad have gone quite a far <br />And it will take long, much longer <br />Before I could see them again <br /> <br />First time I smiled <br />At a kid of my size <br />Stopping my cries <br />Without realising <br />I have no more tears to shed<br /><br />Bashyam Narayanan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-have-no-more-tears-to-shed/
