Empty nest

Every janmashtami she invites

The eternal child home with
Flour footprints on the floor
Then has to keep telling
The transient child at home
To keep its feet off them,
The mother thinks the child
Has grown up too soon 
Forgetting all the nights
The baby kept them all awake,
Sees too footprints leaving her
Leaving behind an empty nest
