Would you ever come back Home?

The first time you left i was fast asleep

Tightly grabbing your chest,

beholding childish dreams

You placed my head on the lifeless bear

and sneakily departed,

deceiving me in sleep

Planting a sad kiss You bid goodbye

and murmured to my ear a note of apology

Whenever I was awake

Which you never dared say.

To comfort my heart, to turn me numb

Barbies and beautiful dolls you sent

Do these expensive toys

Can ever replace the family joys?

Or can those branded clothes

Rescue me from falling on the potholes

Or can Your letters mourning with explanations

can populate my sky with missing constellation?

You said every year you would be back home before winter

Father!! this is Autumn again

Nor you turned back

Neither like past decades ,

the calender ever changed.

Are you gone forever?

Were all those promises fake?

Love does not merely revolve around seamlessly wrapped gifts and aesthetically assembled roses and lilies in a bouquet for boyfriends or girlfriends. Instead, love represents respect, affection, and loyalty among family members. It is another name for priceless care free of any expectation in return .

If you look back at memory lane, your mother’s kiss on a cold December night was the warmest. The father’s cuddle after his 9–5 job was something you always waited for. Your grandmother’s attic still held the cherished treasure of your memories. The innocent sibling fights of golden childhood days are something you yet wish for.

Cherish your relations . They deserve purest form of love !!!
