How are the children Robin?( Guardian)


How are the children Robin?( Guardian


Since months children have left homes
For the silly reason of scolding and comparison
Over results in exams. Parental impatience or
A matter of right unrightfully employed?
I cannot imagine years of their absence,
Oh! I will get delirium the very thought
Would drive me so. What if failure in exam?
Life is only one. The road is empty now,
At least I expect that road should always be
empty for the children stay in my mind forever.
They are children reared in the same roof
Under the common tutelage of aunts and uncles
A joint family system, yet parents hold and weild
Rights when studies and medals come into play;
The sweet voice and the T-shirts worn by them
Always linger in mind and the books and drawing
Pencils-  a sad reminder of their stay.  A heavy rain
Is frightening, for cannot imagine where children
Hide and protect themselves?  When are they returning?
A parrot cry in garden is a   clairvoyance and good augury
They will return soon.  What for we live, parents live
If not only for children? our life our breath only for them.
