Sometimes, love & indulgence, hold you back,
Despite that of Aunt EU’s, in decades ne’er lacked!
She could be tenacious, but also has a soft heart,
If you convey to her; from EU, you wish to depart!
As you’ve also ripened, and, she has also grown,
How long she be protecting 27 children, or own?
A day would come, again, you’ll asked to Serve!
First time was jubilant, alas, ne’er in the Third run!
Love doesn’t mean nor defined to always be close,
As may be a time when you live apart, yet, it grows.
Indeed, in undivided family, profit & loss, are shared,
You expand, diminish, forge, reduced; in Family’s name.
But it is a family by choice, & not by nature’s will,
And there’s no fear to ask ‘Mother’, for a wish to live! 😊
