Day-25 NAPOWRIMO-2021
Today, I wrote something for my daughter. She is in the US and we in India. The world is going through a bad phase and we worry about each other everyday. Just to give her hope and to have faith, I wrote a few lines.
Dear Sneha,
You are too young
To measure
The ridges of time
Spread across the skin
Some sagged
Some cracked
Some wrinkled
They have weathered
The stormiest of pain
The deepest of emotions
The softest of touches
And some have
Hardened when
The heart has melted
In an ocean of betrayal
You are too young
To know their depth
Be strong
To overcome
When they knock
And become your memories...
Mother-love goes right to the gut! Beautifully done.
