Parents stop being parents
Try being human more
Let your children know
You too err
You are just like them
You are not a god
You too can laugh and fight
Sing and dance with them
Your life is life
Not to be taken for granted
Show your attitude
Show your heart to them
Not with tears
But being shelfish little
Why show tears!
When they are found dramatic
Be smart to live in the world
A world of being practical
As they are
Let them know
You too have dreams and desires
Stop being mom and dad everytime
Give a space around with no tags
Grow with them as they grow
Dare not use the word sacrifice
They haven't told you to do so
Then why stand on the altar
And claim you have done it for them
They are grown ups
It's time to stop being parents
Let the ship sail in high tides
While being an anchor for them
Don't fear of being alone
Start being as you were
Before being parents
Just for once say and feel
"Love you zindagi"
Throughout life you will feel
Love for life
And your child will love you
Wishing to be with you again and again
