For you Mom - a poem by my daughter (blog marathon post no. 7)

-
Today I am posting the poem written by my elder daughter after I scolded her for something, she sent this poem to me to the drawing room where I was sitting  (through her little sister ).  The paper was  folded neatly, on top of the folded sheet it was written, 'For you Mom', and inside I found  these wonderful lines. 

 This was written in a few minutes by her (she reads a lot and also writes well) and I simply loved the verses ,   how genuinely she puts across her feelings, like every Mother I  was so touched by these lines and I had tears in my eyes.  So today's post is a poem by my budding writer, my teenage poetess, my daughter....

Sorry Mom, I disappoint you often
 but towards me, you always soften

Sorry I always let you down
but your love is my only crown

You are so gentle and kind
even when I am out of my mind

I know sorry's have been said 100 times
but I want you as my Mom in all the lives

I love you so much I can't express
still, I can't see why I give you stress

stupid, I am , so forgive me
and let the fool that I am, let it be

You are my role model, I look up to you
stay the same, accept all that is new

because however the time changes
however my voice rages

Deep down I will always be cursing my self for 
giving you hard times
I want you as my Mom in all my lives....

Nature - My childhood friend

This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I l...
