My Hilarious Role Model

I met a stranger.
When I was born to this world
She thought me various things
And kept me clean and happy
As ever she could.
But I never knew who it was.

Days months years past by
And when I was a kid 
I still met her.
I remember she was inquiring 
Some fabulous questions. 
One would be;
‘’Who drives the plane’’
And I would over and over reply
‘’Pilot.’’
I was been brought up there
And her effort to take over my path
Was brilliant. 
Her scolding made me cry
Her slap made me hurt 
It was all because of her pure love. 

Days months years past by
And when I was a child 
Yet Still I met her. 
It was just like a dream wondering 
Who she was.
Making me a great person
Was her main task
Though I did not realize during that stage.
Cleanliness of her is imaginable 
Since I was dressed liked a princess.
‘’Chuti duwa’’ was my nick name
And I remember how she comes 
Running home with wetness. 
It was none other than that
To see me and kiss me. 

Days months years past by
And when I was a teenage
Yet Still I met her.
It was her exact age to marry
Where she joined another family 
Knowing how much it
 Hurts me. 
Rapidly departed to another state
Leaving me only the memories 
That I had with her.
Hours days I wept is speechless 
It was hard to tolerate. 
But when will you come back?

At last;
She still belongs to me.
Because I knew who she was.
She had the superlative personality 
And she was the person I love the most.
Hoping your love will guide
Me more and more.
She is simply known as ‘’ Puncha’’
Where I met at 
Grandma’s tiny sweet house.
 The energetic character
May you live along with my blessings
You are
