Do You Remember?

By Gaurav Udavant

Do you remember Mumma?

When I first lay on your lap?

Smiling at you without my 32 whites,

I saw you clap.

Do you remember Mumma?

When I came crawling into the kitchen?

You caught me red handed when,

Into the sweet box I was making my expedition.

Do you remember Mumma?

When you kept an invisible camera to watch over me?

I used to look upwards and easily agree.

Do you remember when you bought yummy snacks for me?

Then I quietly went to play with friends,

Thinking about my homework you would get worried?

Do you remember when I cried my heart out in pain?

Nobody hurt me but those rejections had caused me immense strain.

Do you remember when I got my first approval?

Your heart danced like that of children in a carousel?

Do you remember Mumma?

When I saw you walking on the street?

A wide smile I donned,

That you make others look so obsolete.
