We didn’t know about the time: running fast,
We didn’t notice, we were getting older,
We didn’t realize, we were wasting,

Everything;
“When we were the naughty kid..”

Mom said: “Take a care of yourself..”
Dad said: “Study, work, train…”
We did not understand, do, even noticed..
What they have said..
It was all missing,

Looking for the years, it has been passed..
Like a lullaby, we fell asleep..

Did we hug parents enough??
Did we say “-Sorry for the things I have done..”
Did we kiss; enough; mommy’s cheek,

Did we?? We did,
Yes we did. But it may be was;
“Not enough”..
Maybe not enough times, anymore?

A warm, tight hug for mom..
And a beautiful word:” Love you dad..”
“Thank you being my father, that I am lucky ”
For the rest of life…

Feels better, than missing the bus..
And say, “hey stop! I am getting in !!! ”
Or to say: “Yes dad, you were right”..
By hugging them so tight;
To mean;
“I am stronger than a kid now”
“On your way, father”…

Or maybe;
Some of us, have never known our parents
That we grown up just alone, single…
Or maybe;
Some of us, have never known our parents
That we grown up just alone, single
In a big family…

WHEN WE WERE A NAUGHTY KID

I am sure there are some of us who struggled with their parents and maybe cut off.. Even we did or didn’t have anything hard with them, we should always remember this:
“We may never have the chance to say goodbye them.”
Please say what you feel gently in a few seconds while you still can…
