Come back for a wee

We were a menace in those times.
8-year-old kids who didn’t care a dime.
We plucked everything we saw,
from roses to guavas and mangoes still raw.
We were living our childhood to the tee,
now we wish it’ll come back for a wee.

We were the egocentric brats who wanted everything.
We cried and howled until our parents gave in.
The chocolates, the ice-creams and everything was free.
Now we just wonder how many calories it would mean.
We were living our childhood to the tee,
now we wish it’ll come back for a wee.

We were the Cinderella, the Spiderman and the queen.
The world was a playground to live out our dreams.
We didn’t know that real world could be so harsh,
we never knew that fairy tales are a farce.
We were living our childhood to the tee,
now we wish it’ll come back for a wee.

But sometimes I see,
It’s in the twinkle of a star.
Sometimes I feel,
It’s in the wind that blows carefree.
Sometimes I think,
It’s just sleeping inside me.

#Unconditional #Love
She stayed awake all night,
my incessant howling wasn’t the cause.
It was my discomfort that stole her peace.
‘She’ is my lovely ma.
‘She’ is unconditional love.

He listened to my harsh words in silence.
The next morn he flashed me a smile,
as if I had been the sweetest child around.
‘He’ is my resilient pa.
‘He’ is unconditional love.

She laughs when I’m happy
She cries when I’m sad
She hates those I dislike and loves all I like
‘She’ is my sweet, little sis.
‘She’ is unconditional love.

I’m the most beautiful woman around,
when he looks at me with those big, green eyes,
even when I’m sporting a moustache.
‘He’ is my handsome hubby.
‘He’ is unconditional love.
