You had to go

Every day I commute the
Same laborious path,
Up and down,
Why should I feel the tedium?
for it is mechanical for my feet
to walk , mind laden with
thoughts of yesteryears ;
the togetherness of seven years
I could not forget,
It was a much lively,
Smooth path of love
and understanding,
now it is all of thimbles,
you had to go ,
for the call came from
your father , old-timer,
to appease your
father’s choice,
you had to go.
