Things
occurred fairly fast,
all
went remarkably well
evidently
my luck clicked,
a
satisfying positive spell
Married
at d’ end of teen age,
stars
in a secured position
PhD
in next couple of years,
then
excelled in profession
Engrossed
in my vocation,
a
Professor at d’ age of forty
climbed
d’ ladder with ease,
preoccupied
truly in duty
No
time for a relaxed breath,
achieved
a status in d’ city
lately
only I could realise,
it
was a misplaced priority
Ambitions
blindfolded me,
I
got it absolutely wrong,
when
kids expected a lot,
I
ignored and went along
Toiled
hard, a devout lecturer,
and
a busy able administrator
nothing
could hold me back,
stamped
as a careless mother
Now
I wish to share my pain
to
warn, encourage d’ young
not
to tread in d’ same path,
to
be too busy is ever wrong
It
became my designation
to
my children...."I'm busy"
kids
couldn’t win over me,
attempted
and felt uneasy
My
mum was there around,
for
me, to nurse the children
d’
moment they grew li’l big,
to
the boarding school I sent,
My
spouse did not support it,
but
I always found out a way
couldn’t
conciliate my duties,
from
kids better to keep away
I
was li’l distant, had no time,
no
warm bond with d’ family
2
boys and d’ girl felt forlorn
might
be inimical, surely silly
Guilt,
solitude engulfed me,
I
felt restless and unsettled
had
no time for my husband,
children
and the household
On
my 60th birthday event,
sent
for d’ children to rejoice
both
boys said they were busy,
wish
to enjoy but no choice
before
2 days to my birthday,
"I'm very sorry, my dear Mum"
daughter’s
whatsapp message,
"squeezed
out no time to come"
"My
hubby needs my attention,
to
look after him, I’ve to stay
also
I’m carrying, it’s 3rd month,
wish you a very Happy birthday
I
feel lonely in this freakish land,
perplexing
issues, wish to discuss
None
to guide me, pat on d’ back,
Mum,
will you please pray for us?
Hard
to recover from d’ message,
in
their need, I was never there
now
I wish to see them once and
to
have food and gossips together
I’m
dumbfounded for my words,
it’s
ideal to be a sincere worker
relationship
a vital salient truth,
one
must evidently do remember
Parenting, tough sacrificial work,
always far from home can't stay
avoid work that diverts attention,
from spouse, kids can't run away
Solidify
your sweet home first,
reshape
the attitude and options
might
seem costly and tricky now
the
future reward is worth it
Be
selflessly available for kids,
first
thing first, it’s d’ prime duty
loved
ones need us much more,
to
snub it, is a misplaced priority
