When I held you for the first time Felt my hands full of gold mine When I kissed you for the first time I’ve tasted sweetness of wine.
The moment I heard your laughter My whole world seemed a shutter The moment I saw you somber My heart shed with flowing water.
By the time you learned to talk Taught you the words in the book As I watched you learn to walk Eyes are on to take a look.
Trained you with all the good things So tomorrow gives you something Kept you away from the bad things For they’re only good for nothing.
Worked all day with all my might Didn’t care though it’s midnight And said, I’ll morning the nights Just to give you all your rights.
But as the time passes by This went wrong; I asked God, why? He uttered and made a sigh Why don’t you ask yourself, why?
And when I opened my eyes ‘Twas then that I realize My treasure has turned to ice It’s late to apologize.
This poem is written as a wake-up call for parents who may have lost time for their children. If we really love our children and consider them as our treasure, then let us give them the most precious gift we could give to them, our TIME. Our children badly need it.
