Red frock and white bootees
Locked In my mother's arms
Carrying a one digit number
Over my age,
I already found
More than a trillion pounds
The love reaching
Skies and above!

I grew up
Red remained
A colour of fascination.
Smiling like a
Cheshire Cat
Standing pretty tall
And pretty chubby!

Time flew
I had lost it on colours
Loved blends of
Black and white.
Grins hiding pain
And also depicting pleasure
All I my eyes that staged
Camouflaged Emotions.

My small world always
Was that huge camp
With innocent boundaries
Holding lovely squares
On a peach floral wrapped
Strong, fair, opaque and safe harbour.
It forever stood like a
Silent pillow
Harbour of peace
Dictionary of surprises
Storm to store fears
Island of laughter
Precious box of memories
Oasis of passing time.

Wherever I go
Whatever may be the time
You will be missed.
I hope
You will carry
All of my tracks,
Wait for stories
Of every place I go.

When I walked outside my tiny world,
You were termed
With heavy casts
And strong moulds
Separating millions
And sometimes
Just a family of 10
With another of 2.
But I get back to
my world and will never miss to

Thank you for being the 'WALL' in my life!
