The mother-daughter bond is the closest and most emotionally intense of all relationships. So cherish the company of your dear old mother as not everyone is lucky enough to have one !
The time seems to fly
Minutes turn into hours
Beads of sweat trickle down my face
The panic grows
And suddenly the bell rings..
It’s the end of the rat race.
As I step out of the room
A prayer on my lips
Overcome with guilt
The courage I had built
Slips away.
Recalling
All those moments I could’ve studied
Which I wasted so recklessly
Now filled with regret
All I can do is fret.
When I finally realize the consequences
The world still spinning before my eyes
Excited faces gather around me
All bursting with pride
So ashamed of myself
I search for a place to hide.
In the solace of my room
My face streaming with tears
Buried in my hands
In the silence,
I hear my mother approaching
She sits beside me
And says nothing for a while
And I know on her lips
Is a lingering smile.
Then she softly murmurs
Her voice almost inaudible
About her own past
A phase, unknown to me
Her delightful yet turbulent teenage years
Which ended so fast.
Comforted by her words
I know she understands
That there’s no secret potion or a magic wand
To make her adolescent perfect
And she knows that I respect
Her well thought decisions
And that the next one I make
Would be made with precision.
I’m extremely grateful to have such a great dad too. :)
