And again in the evening,

Beautiful poem. Children are far way earning some where in far off lands. Parents are left alone. Many parents live alone. Sometimes questions comes in my mind, are the children right or are the parents right? I have seen many parents as well as children struggle to make up their living. Often when I come across this topic, it often make me think, what is right? I loved reading it.

A very realistic portrait of an old lady whose days once in a while may get brightened by the presence of her grand children! Then she becomes another little 'girl' romping and playing! But even in her loneliness, she has no complaints and spends her time coming out to the park and watching the beauty of flowers! If children ever thought how much they mean to their parents! A great write!

There are so many mothers in the country whose children are away. The emotional condition of these mothers and grand mothers have been impressively painted. A heart touching poem.
