*long After Sundown Poem by malini kadir

Long after Sundown,
When music settles into a hush.....
Your guitar beckons you I know;
To forget all the day's hectic rush
Never let yourself feel low
A nightly fairy awaits to crown

All your brave efforts;
Playing both the roles of mom and dad
Cherishing your children and doing your best
Never letting the bypassing seasonal fad;
Put your patience to the test!
As reality makes iron forts!

let the masters of our fate;
The almighty society and these men
All with an up turned nose to smell fishy
Have a good and mighty run
Targeting things and aiming swishy
Let wise man like you prudent of late

Pride your decisions and know to wait
Keep your spirits to the test
And kneel to pray for the best
Love with a big heart easy lest;
Those dark fears grip young hearts straight!

As you put your son and daughter's needs before yours
Remember this godmother on her nightly visit
Is sure to kiss your brows with greater pride
For she finds your change, to boast hard to resist;
Hugs you in a thrice; just to show how much she cares!
