Thinking of the start
it was both of you
Bringing me to this world
with pains I didn’t knew.

I was too little then
to know what was going around
You were facing those hardships
with no complaining sounds.

Mommy, you went off limits
and yet you stayed so strong
Daddy, you worked long hours
to get me all I want.

You got me every toy
you bought me frocks and jeans
And so now I regret
for being rude and mean.

You got me in good schools
and colleges that are best
Yet I could only score
marks like all the rest.

However hard I try
yet no way is to be found
I just need a moment
when I can make you proud.

Sometimes you both may fight
or stop talking for days
I always end up crying
figuring out solutions and ways.

But fights are bound to happen
when people are too close
You harmonize like a song
with music having highs and lows.

For each little success of mine
your eyes are delighted with glee
Even in my times of failure
you always stand by me.

I may not say it out loud
yet it will forever be true
I always feel blessed
for having parents like you.
