A child's plea to newage mom.

Poem by Dr. Ruchi Gupta

A child's plea to newage mom.

Ma...thank you for all the love and care,

This small thing I want to share,

Don't always teach, don't always train,

Don't always do things to sharpen my brain.

Don't always teach me intellectual concepts,

Differences, similarities knowledge based facts.

Learning numbers, letters and words,

Knowledge of animal, countries and birds.

Ma... I want to grow, develop and learn,

Carefree, exploring, spontaneous learning I yearn.

Let home not become an educational place,

Where in the world I will find solace?

Let my childhood be full of play and joy...

Let's have fun together with games and toys.....
