Today I stand alone <br />you have left me forlorn. <br />To face responsibilities <br />and to do financial jugglery. <br /> <br />Chores I shoulder alone <br />balancing office work and home. <br />The children try my patience <br />growing up they need your guidance. <br /> <br />You vanished before the end of the play <br />closing the chapter of life midway. <br />I wish I could have held you back <br />Angels say it is just my bad luck. <br /> <br />My face changes as I age gracefully <br />passing above would you recognize me? <br />Seven winters have passed by <br />a few more lines and my hair turns grey. <br /> <br />But there is still peace glowing from within <br />I know you are there watch in'. <br />When my time comes after duties are done <br />to welcome me at heaven's gate you will stand. <br /> <br />renukakkar 13.9.2011 <br />Copyright@2011<br /><br />renu kakkar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/musings-16/
