I never know

a poem by Gireeshma Chilakala

I never knew that I had my family
      when I enter into this world from my mother’s womb
I never knew the love and care
      until my mother and father expressed to me
I never knew that I had a brother
      until unless they fought with me
I never knew that there is a great happiness in the world
      when I hug my dad
I never knew that there is a great pain in my heart
      till I cried a lot on my mother lap
I never knew that I have to live alone
      when my parents leave this world, and I have to leave this world alone
