Time passed , but how , We never knew

Time passed , but how , We never knew

(Based entirely on a Hindi poem “samai chala, Kaise Chala, Patha nahi chala” Do not know the author Thanks to him)

 

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
