WHEN ALL THAT YOU FEEL IS IN VERSE!

I wish to thank the sky and the stars

And Him

Who made me close to perfection

Yet do imperfect things

I wish to thank the river and the ocean

And him

Who taught me how love flows

Yet leave me alone to drown

I wish to thank the shrubs and the trees

And him

Who showed me the power of movement

Yet himself remains unmoved

I wish to thank the wind and the leaves

And him

Who taught me patience

Yet let my impatience rustle

I wish to thank the birds and the bees

And him

Who knew the essence of friendship

But could never be my friend

I wish to thank the mines and the rocks

And him

Who taught me how to love machines

Yet make me love the human more

I wish to thank the thunder and the storm

And him

Who came unexpectedly

To make me see the ‘me ‘ that I was

I wish to thank the cosmos and ether

And him

Whom I hug, who shrugs

And says

“ma, don’t hug me so tight”

And makes a part of me

Complete!
