The red kumkum smeared card
means nothing at all to those invited .
I know , it is just a card...
perhaps it will be thrown away
or used to swat a fly.
To me,it means....
the girl who came to me
when she was thirteen.
I couldn't enjoy her infant days,
her pigtails and pink cheeks.
Her baby steps and toothy gurgles
were sorely missed by me.
She would soon fly away
to her new found nest.
To return perhaps some years later
with a pink or blue bundle....
And I will then relive
the days I could not...
So,
the card means ...
my 13 year old baby
with her temper flaring
and her skirts dragging
will not come to my bedside
to wake me up from my afternoon naps..
nor will she resent even a fly
that comes near by.....
