With My Parents…In Dreams: A Poem by Manisha Amol

Parents love transcend the boundary
Whether in reality or in virtuality
I find them with me on every occasion
Be it the moment of sadness or celebration
A pillar of strength standing tall and firm
Bale me out of the situation, no matter how grim
Highly reliable, dependable, souls so pure
Their presence itself make me feel so secure
In my dreams, I see them more lovable
No grievances to complain, to make life liveable
Thoughts do wander, to escape go asunder
They are there to bring the pieces together
A beacon of light, forever shining bright
To guide my steps in the darkest of night
Safety and security, under their umbrella of parenting
I grew up to be a sensible human being
While I am awake, their smile I face
In every milestone, of the participating race
Extremely lucky to have them in my life
A guiding force in every stride
