A HUG IS ALL I NEED

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.
