100 Words on Saturday – 6
prompt,provided by Richa Singh of The Philosopher’s Stone, is :
Every once in a while
Every once in a while, look up and glance in the mirror, the fine lines
around your eyes, the
grey streaks in your crowning glory. Your lips
have forgotten to smile
and the hollow cheeks are testimony to your
irregular eating
times.
Alone as you toil, I can feel the tension and the struggle
to keep the home
fires burning. When I grow up you, I will take the baton
from you. You put up
your tired legs and
sip coffee with a book.
But Ma, please spare some time for me, I need your warm comforting
hugs
and smiles.
