Time passed , but how , We never knew

Time passed , but how  , We never knew

In this  mad rush of life,

WE never knew ,

When We became  old

The children   who used to climb up our shouldersm

We never knew,

When they   reached  up to our shoulders

Our life started   in a humble rented house ,

We never knew ,

When We  moved  in to our own home

We used  to furiously  pedal the cycle ,

We never knew ,

When We   started  driving our own car

We  Were  a burden to our parents once ,

We never knew,

When our  parents  became  our burden

We used  to sleep  on our seat at noon once ,

We never knew ,

When  We  started  not able to get sleep at night  even

We used   to have   dense black hair once,

We never knew ,

When it started  becoming   white  and very thin

We used  to struggle   hard   for woking ,

We never knew ,

When We retired  and did not have  anything to do

We used  to earn and save money  for sake of our children,

We never knew ,

When they have gone away  and started earning for us.

We used  to be  so happy to be with a huge familyin a small house

We never knew,

When  We  became only   two in a big house
