A Diamond Lost

 These are words that come straight from the heart. 

It started small, just a little crack,

We thought it would pass and bounce right back. 

But slowly,quietly,without a sound,

That tiny gap kept growing. 

When she cared, I looked away,

Thinking I could fix it another day. 

And when I missed her, and reached out true,

She had already started moving too. 

We had fought many times before, 

But somehow came back stronger than before. 

This time,though,the silence stayed,

And the hurt was deep-it would not fade. 

No big fight, no angry word,

Just silence louder than being heard. 

We both waited, hoping the other would see, 

But ego and time would not let it be. 

Now we smile like nothing is wrong,

But deep inside it hurts that the bond we had is already gone.

It faded slow, without a sound,

And there was no way to turn it around. 

I wish I could go back, just once more,

To talk, to cry, to clear the sore. 

But sometimes things just slip away,

Even when you want them to stay. 

It is hard to move on, when hearts feel tight,

When people just leave without making things right. 

I am learning to hold it all and move on somehow...

But I miss you, papa and the beautiful bond we shared every day. 

Before we say Goodbye

 College is not over yet,

But we are nearing the end, slowly and quietly. 

Four years just flew, we are in the last lap

With memories we know will last. 

We came as strangers, unsure and new,

Now we have friends, honest and true. 

Some stayed close, some moved away,

Some touched our lives in a quiet way. 

There were days we laughed so much,

And days we needed a caring touch. 

We worked in groups, shared our food,

Sometimes got lost mid conversation, sometimes understood. 

So many minds, so many views,

And still, we found our own ways through. 

We learned to listen,speak,and grow,

To stand together and let kindness show. 

Now just two more semesters remain,

The thought of goodbye feels strange and plain. 

Soon, everyone will go their way, 

To different cities and countries. 

We may not meet like this again, 

But these days will stay, through pain and joy. 

So, while we still have time to spend, 

Let us live it fully and make as many memories as possible, till the end. 

Mother's Love

 She wakes up early every day, 

Even when she is tired, she stays. 

She works, she cooks, she does it all so effortlessly,

She stands strong, she never falls. 

When we are sad, she hugs us tight, 

She makes us feel it will all be alright. 

She smiles, even when she feels pain,

She hides her tears like falling rain. 

She dreams for us with all our heart,

She wishes to see the sparkling smile on our face always.

She gives us love, she gives us care,

Her love is always everywhere. 

She never asks for anything in return,

Only that we live and learn. 

Her love is big, her love is true,

She does it all for me and everyone. 

No matter what, she stays the same,

Her love is like a strong, bright flame. 

She keeps us safe, she keeps us warm, 

Her hands, her heart - they are our forever home.
