Remember

the little one- you
the one the little child
you
the one with
the roaming carefree childhood

back then
you never thought
never imagined
that you, that little child you
would be dealing
with the beast
the beast that is adult life
the life of parenthood
especially a lone parent
the one whose burdens
even the mythological MrAtlas
wouldn't be envy of
Yes, you never imagined
you'll be dealing
trading blows
with monsters
whilst being the
lone but dense tree
under the blazing sun
providing shade, shelter
and life
Yes it is You
And yes the same
tender, carefree child
you once were!
And deep down
Still are!
And totally
oblivious
to the fact that
you are now but an
I n s p i r a t i o n!

Take a bow dear Friend!
