I am their next history to pass on
My older family’s experiences overload me,
In hope the rest of their lessons are not gone.

“You need to do what is needed to get the destination”
Yet I appreciate the care and way to the necessity
I am their next history to pass on

Yet I know the look of completeness they don
From their Hindi beliefs to not worry 
In hope the rest of their lessons are not gone

In cleaning the house, household tasks and time for basic education
They insist my best with career opportunities in my facility
I am their next history to pass on

Still I see some customs redundant, I am not a pawn
I take the ones I like and keep my individuality
In hope the rest of their lessons are not gone

There are different struggles in each generation
So including mine with my younger generations is comely

I am their next history to pass on
In hope the rest of their lessons are not gone.
