I saw an old couple

In my new neighbourhood,

Lost in the eyes

of each other,

Just Like any young couple

Whenever I saw them,

They would treat me like

Their kid

With a hug and a kiss.

I thought how lucky

Their child might be

To still have parents like this;

But one day I went

To their home uninvited

And saw how their

Child treated them like

Some ordinary help;

I decided to take them

Along with me

But they stopped me saying

"No matter what others

Might say,but it's our child

He won't stay this way long.

We have our trust in him,

To turn his way soon."

I couldn't say much

And left the place

Looking forlorn;

How can parents

Have such blind trust

On a child, who treat them such.

Few months later

I saw them again,

I was left baffled

With the view In front,

The same child

Was laying on their lap

And asking for forgiveness

For his unforgivable deed;

This is the power

Of the parents trust,

Only they have the courage

To bear a child's brunt;

This never ending love

Can only be given by them

But by the time we realise our mistake

It's too late to do much, except to regret!
