Knowing...

I don't remember the day I was born
But I know my mother who gave me birth.
I don't remember my childhood
But I do know it was my grandmother who raised me
I don't remember the scoldings I got
But I do know it was my sister who pampered me
I don't remember the kisses of my father
But recall my aunt who cooked delicious dishes
I don't remember the childish fights with my brother
But I remember my friend who gave me company
I remember the women around me
I can see the woman in front of me in the mirror
I know the image will be complete
Only when I build the whole web of relationships
Once again with the threads of my love.

Deepti Bhardwaj, XII D
