How I Wish My Mother Was Here....

Once in a city call'd Nottingham there lived a happy family,
With happy parents and three kids.. George, Sam and Emily.
Emily was beautiful and eldest of all,whereas George was fat and a little tall.

Sam was smart but being youngest of all in matters of others he would not fall.

They laughed and played with joy, but had never fought for a single toy!
Soon Emily got married to a handsome young man,
Who promised to keep her happy and sure he hadn't feigned!


As Emily went away the glimer of house faded day by day.
Poor mom! She remained quite sad and into the blank she always stared.
But one day it was a bolt from blue, for the mom's soul to heaven flew!
The house was plunged into a sea of sorrow,
Their grief was wide and not narrow!

Slowly and gradualy they recovered from grief,
But that harrowing period was not at all brief!
George was big but Sam was small,
And need was of a mom to look after them all.
So.. the father got married again and into the house a new mom came.
But that new mom was no good..neither did she had agreeable mood.
That malicious lady changed father's mind,
For that once happy lad was no longer kind..


Time passed and george got married.. brought his wife home.
And Sam's feelings she could fathom!
To please the mom she tried her best, but O' Fate she falied in the test.
The family faced daily fueds, that led Sam to distress and solitude.
One day Fate showed her cruel fangs ,and all the attack was on poor Sam.

For a work being denied the father got wild,
And broke Sam's delusion that he still was kind.
He thrashed Sam with a wooden rod,
While that poor creature never uttered any word!
Everyone was shuddered and tried to help,
But all was in vain they only could whelp.
That step mom didn't even tried to stop him,but was calmly watching Sam weeping.

And at last thought the innocent dear, How I Wish My Mother Was Here...

    @ Naga sir: Sadly though the protagonist of my poem happens to be my kin! Something which shook me and prompted me to sew it in words!
