A Letter to My Son

Adolescent you are....ready to take a flight;

Try to understand a mother’s plight. 

Carrying, guilt for being a working soul;

Afraid! might have missed some of your milestones.

Worked harder to make up what you might have missed; 

Time was running out like sand from my fist.

How do you know, surprised you asked;

each time you tried to hide and I unmasked. 

Now you know the trick and how-to ploy; 

For me, you are still the same innocent boy.

Caught once reading book inside a book; 

Now is The Era of e-school and multiple windows to look.

Be blessed always my dear explore it slow; 

Take a step after step please do not outgrow. 

On the way remember some of the keys;

Try to be as humble as you can be. 

Be Determined and generous as you Proceed;

Show some gratitude when you succeed.

There will be a time you would like to look back;

Make sure you don’t find any heavy sack.

Love, live and laugh and do good deeds;

Content and fulfilling life I wish you indeed.
