My World Revolves Around Them Poem by ratnaprabha raykar

I had a spat with my kids

thrusting a few grands in my kitty

I rushed out, promising myself

that I'll enjoy myself for sure



I entered a mall

frantically seizing packetsupon packets

dropping them in the basket one by one,

wearing a smirkfor having shopped alone



but..

As the packets came up for billing one by one

I was amused....

each of them were my kids favourites

oh my gosh! I realise suddenly

my world revolves around my kids

I am no world without them
