Son - a magical word
that always brings a smile
as it opens vaults of fond moments
which linger in my mind
Memories- only the happy kind
Keeps me warm through the winters
And makes the summers divine
Thoughts of you bring back the years
When you held my fingers
And we learnt to walk together
Of the dreams we shared on the terrace
with our secret talks
One moment you were my son
Next my bosom friend
Before I could bat an eyelid
Found you as my teacher
Guiding me through the paths of life
Help me cope with anger & strife
A son you remained for just a while
Then turned into a father
Charming with that naughty smile
May you remain so forever
What junction of life this is
frozen like a window sill
not able to do anything but watch
As everything goes downhill
one moment I was on cloud nine
everything felt oh just so very fine
What I saw was a new beginning
My lonely life taking a new meaning
I tried to find new wings
Looked around to find some twigs
To build a nest- my very own
Where my heart once again could sing
Lurking in the shadows was a storm
To wipe away my dreams before
they took life's form
I wandered looking for the broken pieces
But no, I will not give up
I am not willing for more pain
I will not lead a life mundane
I look at the sky & smile
He responds with this rain
Once again I take control
And start the climb uphill
My life I am going to lead
My dreams I will not let anyone kill :-)
