Over the years of rearing my little
ones, I realized that they are no more new born tiny tots whom I can fuss over.
They are young individuals already at the age of four. They understand, react,
feel and go through same set of emotions that we do; only in a bit more animated way. My daughter
Ananya helped me recognize that while I try to instill the right values in her,
it doesn’t necessarily mean that she will do that right away and it is as
simple for as I tell her. She needs a
little time like we all do when handling a new situation. So this come straight
from her heart through my words.
A HUG IS ALL I NEED……….
After you drop me to school
I might miss you , I start to weep
School is essential;
I also intend to Agree
But I despise all your preachings
that precede
I feel sad and sometimes a hug is
all I need
Once I lie to you
Coz I am afraid to tell you my deed
It is unruly behaviour
I understand what you teach
But I don’t like you scolding, I do
not pay heed
I feel sad and sometimes a hug is
all I need
As I put across numerous inquests
About nature, people, cars and
speed
I know I am peculiarly curious
Your staying power exceeds
But I am gloomy to see my contentment
unachieved
I feel sad and sometimes a hug is
all I need
While I play to the core of my
heart
And you put me to sleep
Only coz going to school is a must
You explain me to deep
But I dislike your discipline
supersedes
I feel sad and sometimes a hug is
all I need
When you refuse to get me my favourite
toy
Because of my mischief
I realize my mistake
Time after time, I go to extremes
But my apologies do not make you
pleased
I feel sad and sometimes a hug is
all I need
When I behave like a nag
Refusing to eat my meals
It is not about the taste;
I just hate force feed
Still I push myself only so that
you feel relieved
I feel sad and sometimes a hug is
all I need
Mommy! Did I ever tell you
I may be stubborn and hard to
concede
Juvenile but sharp, I plead
Don’t make your suggestion as if a court’s decreed
Coz I also feel like you all feel.
As I grow up into an individual
indeed
Sometimes, A hug is all I need.
