THE PROMISE OF A CHILD

It has been long now since I have been wandering through the corridors of my mind, thinking about the weight of responsibility that did drape over my youthful shoulders. Being a kid, I always thought about growing up and taking care of the people I love; the people I have got around me no matter what. When I think of them, two people that come to my mind right away are my mother and father. They taught me so much about my life, love and how to be a good person. I owe them everything for that.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s fair for kids around my age to have this huge responsibility. But then I think of the times throughout my life who were constantly there supporting me, cheering for me, showing me the right path, taking care of me! They were always there, no matter what.

Now as I am growing up, I see them growing old too. I see them changing too with the passing time. Their hair is turning grey, they are getting weak day by day and sometimes they move a little slower. But one thing that never changed is their love for me and my love for them as well. People say that you receive the purest form of love from your parents. Not a single person in this world would love you this way.

Sure it must be hard thinking about the upcoming responsibilities as we all start to grow up. Thinking about taking care of them when they need it the most is more like showing my gratitude and appreciation for everything they have done for me. It is like returning the favour but more than that it is about family. Keeping the family together and stronger.

Yes, as a child I would willingly bear the responsibility of the people who brought me to this world and made the person who I am today. I think of this everyday, how I can give them a better life to live. Ever since I started to earn by myself I can only think of how I can do better. Honestly, I want to buy them every good thing in this world and want to take them to nicest places. I don’t know how long it would take me to get in that position but I want it to happen as soon as it can be. Because I would be lying if I say that I am not afraid of time. As I watch them getting old I feel a sudden wave of heartache about how long I will get them around me like this. So it keeps going in my head that I need to hurry up and be that person already who can afford all the things I have been dreaming for them. They went through a lot to make me the person I am today and I will always be grateful to them for being such loving parents. Now this is my time to make them proud.

I do not know what the future holds for me, but I do know one thing for sure that I will always be there for my mother and father no matter what. Because at the end of the day this is what family is for, right? They stick together in every thick and thin, no matter what. And supporting each other every step of their ways.

Hence, as I look ahead to the years to come , I make a promise to myself and to my parents. I promise to be there for them in every aspect of my life. I promise to help them when they need, I promise to look after them as they looked after me all these years. I will make sure to listen to all their stories and will surely let them know everyday how much they mean to me. That is the least I can do for these two people who brought me to this world and even gave the whole world to me.

Have a good day!!!
