Growing Up

As a little girl, a grille installed,

In her own house safety walled.

The iron beams looked strong,

To keep away the miscreant attempting anything wrong.

Come summer, a long vacation and a lonely girl,

Feeble and alien footsteps brought forth a fear whirl.

Parents away on winning bread,

The little one at home confined in the grilled balcony to tread.

The myriad voices of the television,

To give a human presence to relieve tension.

No sibling but a domestic help during noon,

Her eyes longing to see Mom and Dad come home soon.
