Hopeful
Hopeful
Whispers in the corridor heard louder and closer,
as security man asks relatives to leave,
In recovery room post operative patients wait,
docs are on their way for morning round,
many queries unanswered pop up in minds.
breathes freshness in air
a tender bird spreads its wings
squirrels hop around
Mother is apprehensive to know about prognosis
as her only child suffers cancer for last two years,
bubbly charm lost in deep ocean of pain,
if playful school days could be back again ?
teachers return with bagful complaints
Of the naughtiest one.
a bright new sunrise
buds in vibrant colours bloom
shines the morning dew
Hope like a colourful feather floats in air to tempt
as they humbly pick and hand over to the mother,
her eyes twinkle, tears reflect the dazzle,
grateful to God for those kind healing hands,
He sent from heavens nourishing many souls.
the perishing seeds
saviours water in time
green revolution
