On the Other side

It is tough to see young ones grow up; you always thought that you could protect them with your decisions , but these get challenged once the tender ones grow to make their own. No matter how good you might think your decision might be, there are a few things which you can never explain "logically", as they are more to do with the heart than "intelligent" reasoning. My first tryst with such an experience has left me a little drained with a sense of futility that makes you realize that, which your parents felt when YOU questioned their decisions. Thanks to God, these questions that I put across, lead me into the 'right' path. I now realize the sense of anxiousness & desparity they would have felt when I took my first steps into "MY OWN" Life!!!Life indeed is not without a sense of irony & mockery!!! :-)

Worthy were the quetions I asked,
To move out of my Haven,
Worthy were the steps I took later on,
A sense of Irony and Anxiousnes I feel
As I see them Thrown back at me
