O Mama Poem by Suraj Samtani

Please forgive me,
I am just your child.
I was being me,
I was being wild.

I understand your intentions
Are perfectly pure.
I don't want to give you tensions,
This much I'm perfectly sure.

I strive to reach your steep ideals
With every passing second,
But I end up with raw deals
Each time I've beckoned.

With my age and your experience,
This phase should have long passed.
We'll overcome this inconvenience, &
Catch up with our lost time, fast.

I hope we one day succeed, &
Reach that pedestal where
We are not each other's need,
Yet for one another we are always there.
