Looking to you, we did not
go for another
though grannies did not
agree-
living a life spinning
around you?
I too did all your classes
and projects and your dad
took over, joining classes
himself for
New maths and did your SOP
I was tense for everything -
good school, good college,
Good grades, good friends,
the vocab you pickup,
good habits and good
manners-
when you spent too long in
the loo,
when you attention strayed
as dad talked to you,
Proving them true when they
said-
"as though all others have
no kids".
Knowing fully well but
wishing it off
that sons too nowadays are
no different-
they too are given in
marriage.
