I was sitting on the dining table with a tie and a school bag

And you were feeding me with your own hands

and cribbing, how picky I am with food

Those were the days when I used to tell you,

how teacher praised me,

How Manu took my cartoon eraser and didn’t give it back,

How much I hate that bully boy in school,

How those 10H girls made fun of me and said that I am ugly

And you would put my head in your lap

And say, I was the best thing that has ever happened to you

N it’s gonna be okay!!

But today, I live with just these four walls,

And no one to feed me when I come home,

No one to tell how shitty my day has been,

How boss made re-do that assignment I've been working for months,

How sleep has left me midway

No one's here to crib about how skinny I am, how picky I still am when it comes to food,

Can u ask the Almighty to come for just one day,

So that I can tell you how comforting that hug was

How peaceful your lap was ,

I wanna hug you to sleep again

And say Maa, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me……

And in return, u would say, whatever it is it’s gonna be okay……
