Baby calls her father, gets boomeranged by her own voice and cries. Let her cry now because sometime later she too will learn that what we know about others are our own echoes.
You are right MIP. Every human being has his own perceptions. All of us may be seeing the same thing but the way we perceive and look at it will be different. Likewise our understanding about a person depends on individual views and thoughts.Nice post. Hope I got you correctly.
Yes, she should know/learn, if not time will teach her :)
Well said MIP..and thats the way children are to be brought up...most parents of the present times aren't so hard on their children...often dancing to their tunes -
Well i myself doubt my parenting skills, though :))
But to think of it, MIP....Is it not better to leave it to time to teach her and attend to the child's cry now....given that all children may/may not grow to have those qualities as envisioned by the parents...
atleast you will have the satisfaction of being a loving parent :)
frankly speaking, though i said the other way in the spurt of the moment...I wasn't convinced myself :)
sheer brilliance :) although i believe that memories are too taut. They snap back or break.. why give bad memories where you leave her crying?..so attend to her calls and let Life be the teacher :)
First time here and what a real find your blog has been!To someone not too much into poetry,I read a heap of enticing poems here.Thanks soo much for opening my eyes to how much fun poetry can be!You are a wonderful poet!!
MIP, calling out to the father and knowing about him are two different things. Do not force her to know him when she wants only to call out to him. its a good perspective for a poem but not for a baby.
