A very happy day it is
After a long time–
I heard the sweet voice once again
It was so very painful to hear–
Her talk with great difficulty
Getting breathless & hoarse
A coughing fit, it would end up with
But it failed to shake her confidence
Ignoring all awfully troublesome hurdles
She kept up with her smile
An angel she has always been to us
Goading us to love & shoulder —
All untoward situations for
‘They are the speed breakers of our life
Patience will bestow tolerance
Hastiness will lead to ruination
Choice is ours to make’
What a wonderful significant lesson she taught us!
Boundless sufferings daily she faces
Like a courageous soldier she encounters them
Nothing can overpower her joyous spirit
To her each day is as precious as she’s to us
We shuddered seeing her suffer
While she smiled at us
Encouraging us —
To be happy to be alive
To thank God for this precious life
She kept herself engrossed in her work
Her most enjoyable time has always been reading & writing
Humour runs through a lot of her work
An extremely talented lady she is
She’s the most precious gem of our life.

anuradha ji you have the knack to make the dullest of life’s situation so fascinatingly attractive with the choicest words and phrases. I appreciate the way you have unfolded these facts of life, which this young lady is facing of course, loving people, friends and well- wishers always make life happy and it shows how important relationships are to cross the river of life . Unless you are surrounded with thoughtful, conscientious people around you ,yes life becomes not only dull and boring but there is no one to boost your spirit when you face difficult times all by yourself . thanks for this very engaging poem.
Thanks Ms Diwakar for your very encouraging comment. It inspires & helps me in my writing.
