How to tie my shoes: A small poem expressing a young boy’s plight who has lost his mother and now on his own misses her when it comes to shoe laces as he used to get ready for School himself but tying laces was always an issue and it still is....

                           How to tie my shoes:

Your hand and my laces

Made me cross many faces

But no one can still teach me

How to tie a shoe laces?

My fingers get confused

I look at hundred faces, I can't find you

No similar smiles

I tried looking thousands miles

As I kid, I missed the learning

That has become my burning

It’s now my turning

How to tie a shoe laces?

The knots unfold a mystery

Reminds me of history

When you were here to protect

After you I was the point of neglect

The knots confuse me,

The laces fuse me

And no one can teach me

How to tie a shoe laces?

I miss your fingers tangled in my lace

Life is on run and I have to race

But they are a maze

Which still keep me amaze?

Now I guess I know how to tie

But I wish you were her to stop me cry

Your arms, your eyes are memories

They are the only treasuries

Though you will be with me always

But the laces will remind me of you

Miss you....
