Life's Inspirations

I crave for them through sprays of light To see the vignettes in my mind Their warm love hugs me day or night Inside a chalet large and bright I relive heart’s joys so entwined I crave for them through sprays of light My grandma's laughter soft and sprite My grandpa's face, firm yet kind Their warm love hugs me day or night Those bedtime stories fill my sight Hide-and- seek thrills, now hard to find I crave for them through sprays of light We pluck sweet fruits with all our might Till weak trees fade with old age grind Their warm love hugs me day or night These souvenirs of life’s blessed flight Finds me clinging to years all signed I crave for them through sprays of light Their warm love hugs me day or night.
