A few decades back we had vanished <br />From our life slate as a person well cherished, <br />By the parents and the peers, being a parent of a few, <br />Had let our ambitions to have a nice sleep, <br />Inseparable were our tasks and our body, <br />Unavoidable were our worries and duties, <br />Untouchable were our leisure and pleasure, <br />Unobtainable were enough sleep and rest, <br />When we look back what we had done, <br />Many of us have had the good thought, <br />Forgetting those days when we told our parents, <br />That they always boasted of what they had sacrificed, <br />When we are reminded of the same sentences, <br />Should we have to agree with it as our parents did? <br />the future holds all our secrets, <br />perfectly packed and we will unwrap it.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-future-holds-the-secrets/
