Parenthood - Guest poem by Uma Ramakrishnan

 

painting by Uma Ramakrishnan


Through the ocean of life
They ferry their child


Many a storm they weather
And protect from danger


With joy they unite and sail
Their unconditional love


Keeping them afloat
Through the highs and lows of life.


The years breeze past
Their child has grown
Fit to be on its own


When the dream destination arrives
The child steps out
Snapping the cord
Disappearing into the dream land
Causing no discord


Leaving the empty boat drifting
Between sea and sand


And the boat is always there
When the child stretches out its hand...

Uma Ramakrishnan
