Poem

I’m getting older, my little one

Now I carry two glasses

one thick for crying

and the other to trace your footprints

wherever the poems are

Have you grown up, my little one?

Is the child inside you still not grown?

I don’t want you…

to grow old like me and lose our details

I don’t want anyone but you to write our story

Tell the world after me that:

The one who has died was my beloved.
