BETWEEN TEARS AND CRIES

AN INTIMATE DIALOGUE BETWEEN
THE SON AND THE FATHER

Children need attention from their parents in times of crisis and when they meet bad situations in life.They don't get any support morally and emotionally when they face tough problems in their day to day life.This attitude from their parents make them sad and at times make them depressed.

DR.HABIBULLAH picturises in his beautiful poem one such intimate dialogue that happened between the father and the son. Now read the poem.....

in my life's crisis and

in times of upsets

i looked up

for your help.

but you turned me

down in the dumps.

turned your face

closed your eyes

gave me a deaf ear

to my fears and cries.

when you close your heart

when you cross your arms

when you keep me

at arm's length

how shall i gain

mental strength.

how weak i am

how strong you are.

you used me

for your comforts.

abused me

for your discomforts.

tell me dad

how to identify

a wolf in

sheep's clothing.
