HIDE AND SEEK

When I discovered

My mother too gifted with poetry

That was the most beautiful moment

For me ever

I was really out of the world.

I always wondered

How I could jot verse

Rather stupid ones

Or sometimes meaningful ones.

My mother used to find

An unusual pleasure

In reading my verses

She blushes most of the time

Which I could not find

Ever in any other face

Truly, I am blessed and proud

To be her daughter.

It has been years

That I wondered my mother’s pastimes

Now I found out

It is her treasure

That I inherited.
