Somya Kedia Poet Carpe Diem

Inspiration

The blessings bestowed upon me,
I neglect.
The roof, the food, the clothing;
I didn't notice,
Until someone today, 
I met.

Struggling each minute, 
Each day and every year, 
This man, 
Earns his blessings.. 
For basic necessities, 
For also to be heard, 
And hear!

He is deaf
He is mute.
His bravery ..
Is an insipration..
To which- I salute!

How petite are my list of sorrows?
How I say I am unhappy?
Where this man,
Smiles and lives each day, 
Embracing and awaiting,
A yet another tomorrow.

Also, it reads aloud nicely, and I bet if you read it at a reading, it would be received favorably. Somya Kedia January 27, 2018 at 10:58 PM Hi thank you so much! Your appreciation just boosted my confidence to write more of such poems. :)
