Heartfelt Gratitude

When my father-in-law passed away, he was reached home within half an hour He managed everything and went back only after last rites had finished When my aunt passed away it was 1 o'clock at night But he was there at mortuary helping us out Again when my mother-in-law passed away he rushed in with all that was needed That day I cried out of gratitude He was a mere friend, office colleague of husband He wasn't our relatives, he had no obligation to help Yet he did, what a great soul. He means much more to me than my own relatives Whatever be my problem, whatever be the time, There is one person whom I can depend upon for help. Such souls are rare. I will not say thank you to him. I will help him the way he has done That's the only way I can repay him. Contest Name: Thanksgiving Sponsor: Regina McIntosh Date: 11/3/2020
