I Have Learnt

 

Mom

I remammber you, calling me for food

And me just saying 'No!' watching TV

Now I have learned to run on whistles

Standing in lines and waiting for food.

Maa

I remammber you, saying me to bath

And me saying- "I don't want to bath"

Now I have learned to wake up early

& bath first, coz I won't get it vacant.

Maa

I remammber you, calling me home

When I was playing cricket in streets

Now I have learned not to go to play, 

Complete my homework on Sundays.

Maa 

I remammber you, cleaning my room

Me saying you not to disturb me, maa

Now I have learned to clean my room 

On Sundays adjusting time to studies. 

Maa

I remammber you, saying me to sleep 

In hot afternoon n me playing Cricket 

Now I have learned to complete sleep 

In class, begging time to sleep in room. 

Bebe

I remammber me, requesting you to

Wash and iron my uniform properly 

Now I have learned to wash it myself

After wearing the one till two weeks. 

Maa

I remammber me, quarrelling'th you

And crying when you beat me badly 

Now I have learned to talk 2 minutes 

In a week, keeping others in attention. 

Maa 

I remammber me, saying so proudly 

I will go to 'Uphaar Hostel' far away 

Now I have learned to pack so early

To ask every teacher about holidays.
