Soothing Love

Thank you very much For having such a heart, such a blooming heart, such a bleeding heart, and guiding and guarding that child from them, from that pack of wolves. A decade ago, it happened, and it happened for a decade. Occasionally, instantly and insistently, they released Montague – Capulet grudge, they trudged generationally, on him, that trembling lamb. They used his bed as their stag to keep their pet pig – mud bathing pig, yet you saved him from wallowing in that mud-spread, stenchy bed. A decade ago, it happened, and it happened for a decade. Their mammoth-like wrongs flew so soft as bird feathers, yet his chin-tip-size mistakes blew like king-size gas balloons. A decade ago, it happened and it happened for a decade. Harbouring grudge on none, you did shield him, as a boulder, and trained him to face threats without harbouring grudge on none. A decade ago, it happened and it happened for a decade. Thank you for being such a beacon, such a guru, guarding him and guiding him to live as a man with no grudge, yet with love, oozing – soothing love.
