Yes
I needed you
I needed you badly, indeed
That was time,
when I was taking my first step to walk
That was time,
when I was uttering words to talk
That was time,
when I just began to eat by my hand
That was time,
When I just began to have my friend
Thanks to you for all the support you did
That was time
When I needed you indeed.
And now I have realized
Due to all of your kind deed
I am quite grown up indeed
Trust me,
I can handle my stuff
Don’t let your hands
To be my handcuffs
Let my feet find their land
Let me have deep dive into sea
I want to touch the sea floor
Let me have my tour
And I promise I will be always your’s.
Note: There is a thin line of demarcation between hand holding and holding (pulling) hand. And most of the time we (elders) unwillingly cross this demarcation line and we lose our dearest one. They feel so suffocated in our support system that they break this and free themselves to have fresh air and to explore the world. Not of caution is that by allowing them to explore it does not mean that we will not look after, just always be with them only when they need.
