The first semester of college is new learning for the whole family, navigating emotions both high and low! I wrote these lines sometime Fall through Winter….
Love is-
being randomly tickled,
pulled in for a fun dance jig,
getting extra hugs……
when the older one is off to college
and your little boy is yours again ❤️
(And come December our college freshman is back home for winter break….)
Happiness is-
hanging out with friends,
long hot showers and a comfy bed,
Sweet tangy shrikhand,
warm sabudana khichadi,
Being pestered by little bro
and pampered by Dad! 💕

What a sweet, vivid, and palpable definition poem, AK! You inspired me to think about my personal daily definitions of love and happiness, which prompted the realization: Happiness is a chubby, silken-soft cat spread across the book I just picked up to read 😀
Your response was super poetic Mel! Glad this made you reflect 😊
Beautifully written dear poet! Can very well relate to these feelings ..
Thank you Neeta! Just following your footsteps 🙂
Felt so fresh and positive reading the lines. Very nice. Keep writing….
Thanks Shilpa, glad it brought cheer! On the other hand, it is not easy to, but someday I hope to be able to write about the lows as well….
Simple yet sweet… Would love to cherish such memories again & again.
Glad you liked it Namrata!
Very nice. Touched a chord with me. Going through something similar with my daughter 🙂
We went through this together as teens and now as Moms 🙂
Awesome!! Very nicely penned!!
Thank you Padmini 🙂 Just an attempt to put some emotions down on paper um…computer…
