She left her family
And went abroad
As she found there a lucrative job
Earning in dollars
A millionaire she became
Staying as busy as one could be
To the phone calls from home she responded
less
With a dream in her eyes to have riches and success
She worked day and night
And finally decided to visit home on the Diwali night
She reached there with the most expensive gifts she could find
But there was something she realized
Her parents were now old and fragile
On seeing the gifts they didn't excite
But at the sight of her face tears welled up in their eyes and those slender arms still hugged her tight
At that instant only one thing popped in that girl's mind
"All they needed was a little of my time..."
