# An ode from a son's weeping heart.

"I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. ~Abraham Lincoln". 
Sometimes life takes such a turn that you end up losing the one who has been an inseparable part of you.Tried to pen down feelings of a a close friend.



Let me place another sob on your shoulders, let me clutch your palms once more. Screech another time maa and will not do the mischief you had been telling me to refrain from.

Come maa will hold your hand like you held mine while you taught me how to walk away from my worries. I know I had been too busy chasing my dreams but if you give me another chance it will be just about a picture perfect life you expect out of me. I swear I will bring you here in this metro city for I was wrong when I underestimated your capacity to adjust in any circumstance provided I was in front of your eyes.

I promise to never skip a meal even if I am busy with my corporate meets and be a source of anxiety for you. I’ll ring you twice a day, and In-fact lets strike a deal for four times a day. Even more if you wish so.

Maa I promise I will prioritize your travel wishes over my weekend getaways. I want to take you to the temples you always wanted to visit but could not because you were too occupied nurturing me & my siblings.

Maa when I was a kid and you use to get upset about my frolicsomeness leading to destruction and shout at me, it was the scariest moment of the day.
 For I wasn’t afraid of you, for I was too timid and the thought of you not talking to me for next few hours use to make me feel week in my knees.

Today I am shouting maa, and trust me this time I am scared as hell. I want to make up for each moment you have complained about. I am calling for your name, but it seems you are so upset that you don’t wish to listen to me anymore. Please Maa for your son’s sake, come and hold me once and I assure I will never let you down.
