a chubby little boy
There is this boy whose father will
accompany him to wait for his
bus to pick him up to school...
i told myself...what a loving dad...
i told myself...how children are being
spoilt these days...
2 years after...
one day
this boy had grown up...
no longer the chubby boy i used to see
the father accompanied him still
to wait for the bus...
but today...i saw that he had a
younger brother...
6am in the morning...the moment
his dad and his younger brother was
watching behind the gate...
he was sitting outside the gate...
his brother was searching for him...
their eyes met..his younger brother..
flashed a cheeky smiled waved at his brother...
he rushed to his brother and sat beside him...
his brother put his arm around his waist
afraid that he will fall...
the younger brother leaning on his brother...
flashed another smile...
i felt so warm...i felt so touched...
to be able to see such bond...
i have a close relationship with my brother
we had gotten close thru the years...
as we grew up..
its amazing to see kids bond at such
a young age,
normally they tend to fight for
toys and attention...
the boy..certainly not a spoilt brat...
but a loving brother,
the younger brother..adores his brother
the parents..certainly have taught them well..
Signing off,
with sweet thoughts

Hi Greetings:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful thoughts beautifully expressed. I wish this was the case in every house. The brothers have the same parents, same blood, live in the same house, eat the same food, sleep in the same bedroom and grow up playing together.
From what I have seen very few brothers and sisters maintain that bond when they grow up. I agree there are special cases like yourself and your brother and the little children about whom you described so poetically.
In many cases, I have seen brothers fight over parents property after the parents have passed away. We have a huge business house in India where the brothers Mukesh and Anil are fighting court cases over the companies established by their father Dirubhai Ambani. I know these names sound funny but these are very famous names in India. Both the brothers are multimillionaires and yet they are fighting.
I wish all brothers and sisters will conform to the love, affection and bond you have so wonderfully expressed in your well thought out, stylishly written excellent poem.
Have a wonderful day:)
