I’ve not been rising too early, feels like it’s the time to be slow,
And still the days are teeming; there’s a steady gentle
flow.
This new found balmy peace and contentment,
Keep them coming!
The girl gleamed with pride and dignity; had a new found
charm,
Oblivious to the un-threaded brows and the un-waxed arms.
That liberation from stereotypes and this re-infusion of
self-worth,
Keep them coming!
It melted my heart when Kuhu packed for the helper’s girls,
The jackets, the books, the bag and that string of pearls,
This air of kindness and the warmth of love,
Keep them coming!
Joey’s golden coat shines much brightly lately,
The extra hours of love and fetch surely have worked
innately,
Such paw-some hours of fun, snuggles and belly rubs,
Keep them coming!
They’d brought-in new lives, nursed the old and alleviated
the pains,
And now, they walked into the fire, the storm the curse;
all this for us again.
Unending gratitude and respect for the Doctors &
nurses,
Keep them coming!
Deserted roads, splash-less swimming pools and empty
jogging tracks in Spring,
Most were away, but for that brightest smile turned up each
morning.
A lifetime of gratefulness for each of these resolute
Teachers,
Keep them coming!
Instead of being scared, you cared; cheered for the brave, talked out of the stress,
It reflected when you reached out to spread the hope and
that awareness.
These ventures of mettle and solicitude, my first born,
Keep them coming.
How loved was that imperfect cake with modest assortments
and drinks,
The homely setup, the pajamas, the messy buns and the winks.
Such no-theme, barefaced, crazily joyous celebrations,
Keep them coming.
Friends and family were around more often than ever,
To share, to calm, to heal and to cover was everyone’s endeavor.
That flair for unflinching courage, compassion and commitment.
Keep them coming.
This time gave us fears but it brought about the grit,
The bitter weather made us generous and kind; and too firm
to submit.
It kept us apart but the hearts reunited.
We valued, we thanked and kept the prayer lamps lighted.
When all this is over, let us not lose these again.
This unearthed solidarity and the restored goodness,
Please keep them coming!
