Sumita Datta - ***She Waits***

At the age of 7;
Every afternoon she waits by the window for her dad
As every afternoon at the same time
From office dad is supposed to come back….
She is the father’s adorable Daughter….

At the age of 17;
Every afternoon she eagerly waits by the window for her boyfriend
As every afternoon at the same time
He passes that area while back from Gym,
She is his dream girl…

At the age of 27;
Every afternoon she eagerly waits by the window for her spouse
From office her “the best man” will be back
To their dream house,
She is the pretty woman…

At the age of 37;
Every afternoon she waits by the window for her son
From the kindergarten, her cutie pie will be back home
To his beloved Mom,
She is the Mother….

Day after day, month after month, years passed….
From the father’s little toddler
To an young girl, a pretty woman
Today, she has become a mother,
A mother of a handsome boy…

Years passed…

Today she is 67;
She still waits every afternoon by the window
The tiny tot will be back home,
She is the grandmother….
Life goes on…
