Son:
{1}
When youth is in all its glory,
When I am ready to live my own story,
Why do you fret that I may fail?
Why do you think my efforts are stale?
{2}
I have my own mind to fit in,
My own eyes to see.
When you put your veil in front,
Tell me, how would I feel free?
{3}
I sometimes doubt your trust,
Your faith that you put in me.
Cause I know you are the strongest roots
Of which I have grown as a tree.
{4}
I still remember all the lessons,
That you taught with zeal to me.
I just want to add a little more,
With whatever I happen to see.
{5}
I fear to say that you are wrong,
Sometimes whenever I feel.
It’s just that I feel bit different,
And find some truths within.
{6}
Let me take out my hands
Crossed with yours till now.
To see this world and walk around
To find my path unbound.
{7}
I will be happy if you are
And same do I want from you.
Without any if’s and but’s
Your heart is where you ought to go through.
Father:
{1}
I will start from where you ended
And will open my heart today
That has fractals in the same line
In the same helpless way.
{2}
If I am the root and you are the tree
Tell me how I can ever let you free.
If truth lies only in what is seen,
Wouldn’t it be hard dear, to keep you green?
{3}
The fears of mine you referred to
Might keep your hands tied
Those only prevail cause I could see
My own reflection living my life.
{4}
Stories repeat defeating the time
Where I was once, today you stand.
I just want you to peep through it
Where lays a fertile promising land.
{5}
I have a strange thing to grouse,
That I am old enough to expiate.
But I want you to be all right
Before you deplore, before it’s late.
{6}
It’s not you that I doubt
It’s the life that I have already seen
Foresight are bad today I feel
Cause your doubts are quite umpteen.
{7}
I know I would not walk with you
Forever in life wherever you go.
But I always want you to have my shadow
Far enough to land you through.
{8}
It’s not fair at all
to expect from any age
For it seeks what it has seen.
Albeit it’s true that sooner or later
You will be a father with your teen.
With same sort of puzzles to solve
And similar issues to evolve.
If you feel anytime something can break
Talk to your son whatever it takes.
I am sure that you’ll be light again
The moment you strike a bargain.
Since every story has another side,
The way we are trying to take that ride.
One thing I promise I won’t let you
fall,
Even when you want to ride alone.
I might not be right every time
But promise me dear,
Our
poem shall always rhyme.
