Remember?

Remember when a kid used to wreck havoc in the yard? With cousins and friends close to his heart

Remember the conspicuous silence of pranksters? Followed by mischiefs and burst of laughters

Remember intervening those kids’ fights?

Some would easily quell and rest went on through the night

Remember those tears at the thought of parting ways? A few miles seemed worlds away

Remember all the silly embarrassing questions he would ask? Made you lose your calm composed mask

Remember his wonder and curiosity for things? At times sheer hostility to all your teachings

Remember how fast all those years went by?

Seasons came and gone, time continued to fly

Remember one day he took off for the maiden flight? Away from the home and out of the sight

That kid’s grown up now and we live in parallel worlds, seasons still arrive as scheduled but never together for us

But ‘Remember’ all this for one more reason,

We’d  always share a common season, where all our memories are forever frozen…

⁃ That kid.
