Thanksgiving
The year that’s coming to an end
brought plethora of difficult time
with the pandemic threatening the humanity
life lost the rhythm in the chaos of uncertainty.
Self-isolated from the outside world
my stalled time sank in the sea of desolation
the news of friends falling gravely sick
or of neighbors dying frightened me.
As I felt my fragile morale crumbling
I prayed for the wellbeing of my family
beseeching the Almighty for His blessings
to save us from the deadly invisible menace.
My subservient pleading I knew was heard
for with God’s benevolence bestowed on us
we’re safe up until now, spared by Covid
I thank Him from the core of my humble heart.
