Mom, When I Cried

Early morning, you make my bread,
The same with love to me you fed,
But when I cried to eat you said,
When I am with you don't need to be sad.

While walking to school, I was always red,
I would nag for you to carry me to the end,
But when I cried to walk you said,
When I am with you don't need to be sad.

From school when I come back,
With home works in my big pack,
I cried to do them, but you said,
When I am with you don't need to be sad.

At night, you put me in bed
My manners with stories you mend
But when I cried to sleep, you said
I am with you don't need to be sad.

Failing which my head would burst into ten piece.
Thinking of my homework, I was at peace.

In a soft voice, the genie said, “Give me your command”

But it completed all my home work
Within a second.
To my fates end
