Mom, I have met <br />A girl on the Internet. <br />I think, I can’t find another <br />Soul mate like her. <br /> <br />I can’t believe it’s happening to me, <br />Can I go to Holland to see? <br />I couldn’t fathom my emotions- <br />Disbelief, pain anger all were in motion. <br /> <br />I didn’t know what to say, <br />I could see there was no way <br />I could dissuade him. <br />The situation seemed grim. <br /> <br />Is this how it happens these days? <br />I felt ancient in many ways. <br />Someone you haven’t made eye contact <br />With, or seen a movie while holding hands <br /> <br />I could see it was time to let go, <br />He has to learn from his mistakes and grow. <br />I am sure my parents felt the same <br />And thought I had no focus and aim <br /> <br />Now I understood what is generation gap. <br />The realization hit me like a slap. <br />I think I grew up that night, <br />And gracefully gave up the fight.<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/generation-gap-4/
