Beautiful Glee

-

It isn’t for a day or a week, but half her life she has been going through strenuous pangs and toils, and still it is vividly in the reach of my eyes, with age old ragged bag, she is walking in her late 40’s to and fro with the hope to earn even a single penny that would add up to the bountiful sum. This is no greed, no dissatisfaction or desire for the opulence, but for the colossal debt she is bound to. She is hugely indebted not for the self service, but to ease her offspring of destitute and give them the pleasure of normal childhood. Debtor she is to others, but embodiment of honesty. She would say “Without paying of the due, no peace I can avail even afterlife!”
At young age, as a damsel, she looked stunningly beautiful with glowing unripe countenance and her physique exquisitely shaped like a model today with which she could have insinuated herself in the life of a millionaire and owned affluent material possessions. Alas, misfortune took a toll on her life when she was bonded to a drunkard. With the years of hardship and sweats, she lost the softness and sensual fragrance of her skin, her divine beauty concealed with wrinkles, and her model like figure remained no more attractive. But still, she has that mystique with which anyone could be charmed and enticed. Softness in her speech, kindness in her soul and generosity in her conduct, she is one of a kind, perhaps the surrogate of the goddess. 
She had first child (a boy) at 18 and now she is 46 with four energetic broods, intellectually sound and physically beautiful. For well disciplined and soft-spoken as she, neighbors regard them with respect and admiration, perchance, the reason she always has smile on her face in spite of misery. What can a mother expect more than the decency in her child?
As a spiritual way of saying, “Goodness only befalls unto good people,” after her disentanglement from obnoxious alcoholic husband, she is now married to another man who is divine in personality, devoted as husband and affectionate as patriarch. Albeit no children are of his semen, he has no lesser love and care for them as his own. Elder two are already earning their own breads and the third is only few miles away from the fortune. And the last has bright future ahead.
Seeing the fruits ripe of the seeds she sowed with the unremitting investment, I could perceive the joy in her, proud at the most, with those aged lips stretched into big cheerful smile on her wrinkled face. I am delighted for her and pretty relieved, for there lays a peace and ecstasy ahead of her to relish, regardless of uncertainty and unpredictability of our life.
P.S. Let no grief swab the smile of our mother; beauty and dignity of her soul we shall always uphold.

When I'm Gone...

Smile at me with those beautiful lips, Talk to me I insist when I am close, But be careful of words you speak That may stretch us apart and ruin The splendor we see in being us; Like me and ne’er let me weep, And every day I plead make my day And I swear I’ll make yours; Let no fury or disgust swab our smiles, But with harmony let’s our bond be adorned For ephemeral our life is which, I beseech, we shall spend through delight; ‘Cause when I’m gone and no more you'd see me, Unheard your words shall only fade away, Unfelt your warmth shall just cool away And chained-up your rueful soul shall remain. So hide not but bare your heart out, Show that truly you care for me, That you respect and adore me For the person I am, and talk me Into believing every word you say, ‘Cause when I’m gone and you’d miss me, Beyond your reach I’d have gone and Unheard your words shall only fade away, Unfelt your warmth shall just cool away, And chained-

God in disguise, a pure soul of divinity, No wonder the bona fide progeny of God you’re, The great one highly esteemed for visionary you’re, So genial and benign, no man as you exists so munificent; The Grace, all hearts’ desire and the beacon, Pray hundred more years you live on for the sake of A million souls’ peace and wellbeing you care for. So appeasing just your sight is, the balm to despair, Joyous eyes’ grandeur and love of all hearts, At all times hallowed thou shall remain and recalled, Even the threat‘d sway no man against thee ‘Cause almighty you’re, the optimal clout beholder. In you, our hope and assurance we perceive, Ideal we see in you to emulate, your greatness, Flame to our shadowed lives and succor in plight, You ne’er let the famine creep in and starve us, No evil you let it destroy our harmony And no bloodshed you let our lives be taken, But wishes fulfilled and smiles brought upon, Bestowal of happiness upon us your d

Hope On

Like the seasonal snowflakes, Pain is fairly short-lived and there is joy to relish soon Like the summer rain, Opportunities in profusion- grasp them accordingly; Like the mighty Mt. Everest, Remain impervious no matter how intense the storm is; You’re the victor since you were in the mother’s womb, Who won the race to the human world; You’re the invincible warrior since childhood, Bold and undefeated, the one who resisted All woes and foes of life and still battling; You’re the joy-giver whose mere existence Brings jovial smiles upon many faces- Don’t let your decision wipe the smile off their faces; You’re the guardian of your life, protect it; You’re the adornment of your life, embellish it; You’re the soul of your life, love it no matter how tough it gets For there is certainly a light at the end of the tunnel!
