“I’m glad it’s a boy!”
the Mother says, “At last I got one.
He shall be my priest.”
And then, she left him
with his father and elder sister,
when he turned 6 months old.
She had to go far away,
as Work was calling her
to be its servant.
And now the boy turned eight.
His father said, “I am sorry.
I am leaving.”
Now, the mother lone,
along with the elder sisters
took care of him.
And now that he turned 13
His mother really wanted him
To be a priest.
Of course,
He tried for 3 years,
but failed to proceed further.
The Mother used to say to him,
“You have no difference,
you are the same as your father.”
“But remember, my son,
at least, not his behaviour.”
Now the boy turns 16.
How sad to see a boy,
Losing the love of his Father
At a young age, not dead but alive.
For now, his Father
is so happy, Staying
with his new Family.
Yes, the boy did lose his Dad
for good, but he also forgives
him for doing it.
After all, he says, “I do love,
and respect you, dear Dad, but
Never shall I follow your behaviour to be a Dad.
Now, he prays and glorifies God
for having a good Mother and a Sister.
And he also asks him to bless his and their future.
You might wonder who this boy might be,
that the writer wrote unknowingly about.
What if the writer himself was
the ‘boy’ in the story?
