In The Journey of Life - An Event

This is an experience  which happened many years ago.The experience which comes as a turning point. 

The ultimate proclamation to give legitimacy to a new born is the wish of every man and woman. 

The first look to ensure everything was in place as the tiny pink  bundle  with frail arms and peeling skin starts seeing the first rays of light. 

It was a tie between in laws to take the coveted place of giving the first sweet taste to the tongue. A lot of water has flown under the bridge..

A doting father spent countless hours singing lullabies .Alert waking hours to be at beck and call of the first born. The child was the world. This gave the woman temporary respite from postpartum blues.

Once upon a time those tiny hands entwined those brawny hands while taking the first baby steps and exploring  the world. Child does not  remain a child forever, it blossomed in full.Today, enabled to face the challenges of life independently. 

But sadly, the steps climbed  remain just a distant dream as  permanent amnesia has set in .

Today  strangers, perhaps of the growing years spent apart . Calls remain unanswered.Lines of communication closed. 

However, memories of yester years keep flashing .As what you resist always persists.

Tears swell.

  

“We make them cry who care for us,

We cry for those who never care for us,

And we care for those who will never cry for us.

This is the truth of life., its strange but true

Once you realise this, its never too late to change.”

Perhaps  time to move on.
