I have Changed so much!

I was a just born and she was Twenty,
Though we were two, we were one.
I would cry out and she would respond,
I would learn nothing but she never stopped teaching me.

I was surrounded by strangers eager to pull my cheek,
but they would vanish the as soon as I was wet and I would weep.
She would come running and hold me in her arms without any hesitation,
as though I had won the contest of some sort.

Now I was able to walk and chew,
guess what, I was two.
She and I were able understand one another,
I was her everything and she needed no one else but me.

I tried to walk but instead fell down,
the thought of her being with me,
took away the fear of pain.
We still could not talk that well,
But she understood my needs and wants so easily.

I could now move free,
because now I was three.
I was ready to join a new world,
my educational life was now going to unfold.

She dressed me as a princess,
but when I came back,
she needed minimum of an hour to rinse.
Now I was able to speak,
I was a plane and she was my runway.

How can I forget that child, whose shirt I ripped,
Guess what, I have turned four.
I now came home bite late,
and found her waiting at the gate.
She hugged me and took me in her arms,
it felt like flying through the sky.
Now we both did the homework together,
I would mess the home and she would do work.

Years have pass and now I turned fifteen,
and with each year I would forget to bend.
I didn’t care about what she said,
because now I have become bad.
She asked me to study for a better tomorrow,
but I was busy in a my own world.
Now I had many more others in my life.

I changed a lot in things she taught me,
She tried to hug me but I was out of her reach.
She still waited for me at the gate,
but I would look at her with almost the hate.
She would be awake until late night,
because I wasn't home, and I was in a fight.
She had so much to scold me about, but she never did say a word,
In the hope to find me better the next following day.
Time passed and now I am older,
still lost in my own world

Both of us now, had a distance between us
I left her for own my career.
But when I was young, for me, she sacrificed her NEEDS,
but I didn’t care, because now I have my own duty.
not only that I’m not with her, but I’m in different town
she is so old at the moment but I don't even sympathy for her in my heart.

I was not to be found when she needed me,
in the race of time I failed to see
Her pain, her hurt or her strife
In few years from now,
there will be someone new in my life.
At that point I fear I'll forget even to consider that,
I am her daughter and she is my Mother.
Glance at me, you will see a change in me
she remains the same waiting for me to come,
Looking forward for that hug, just that smile
But I have gone away ,away from her a few miles.
