Life is a mysterious classroom with surprising syllabus for everyone. The things our parents have experienced are myth to us; the things we are experiencing now are novel to our parents; the things our children will experience will be surprise to us. Life is moving forward constantly. My poem "Wheel of Life" tells this!
Explore life with my poem! Have a great journey!
Our parents are old to us now
Coz we have been seeing them as elder persons from our childhood.
Their physical pain and illness are normal to us;
We take good care of them,
But with a line, ' it's because of your age'.
But, they too were younger once
Playing with their friends in streets
More than we have done.
Buying handful of snacks with minimal coins
Which is impossible to us now.
They too didn't have a thought of getting old
As we are now.
They didn't think of being instructed by their children,
While they were instructing us in our early days.
They didn't imagine being held by their children,
While they were holding us for the first time.
Wheel of life moves in that way
Resting for none
Waiting for no one
It is perfect in its duty
Pushing people forward constantly
Without any resistance.
