Oh, Mother! ! the wonder of my life,
A beacon of love who vanquishes strife:
A guardian angel whose presence I feel,
A sanctuary of safety, a balm to heal.
...
Oh where, oh where have my socks gone?
I swear I left them here, and now they're gone!
I've checked the drawers, I've checked the shoes -
I've checked the laundry and even the blues! !
...
Oh! COVID, you cheeky little germ,
A sneaky foe, we never saw you squirm.
You slinked into our lives, what a ruckus,
An unwanted guest, what a hubbub! !
...
Diversity and inclusion; it's a challenge we must meet
For though it holds great beauty, it's not always sweet.
In the struggle to create a world of acceptance
We must confront the issues and make our presence.
...
In my kitchen, pots and pans,
Ingredients measured out by hand.
A recipe book lying clear -
All set to make a gourmet cuisine, oh dear!
...
Amidst the chaos' deafening noise
Nature proffers a poised poise
When the rustling leaves dance in accord
And the chirping birds chirp in euphoric overboard.
...
From the resonant echoes of our first cries
To the sounds of contented smiles that now comprise
Our happy moments, life's tapestry has woven
A story of growth, transformation, and devotion.
...
Humans...such a nuanced breed
From their whimsical idiosyncrasies to their existential need.
They erect towering edifices and commute in luxurious cars
But in the grand scheme of things, do they really see the stars?
...
Wrapped in a cloak of somber hue
My heartstrings pull as sorrow ensues.
In the quiet of my troubled mind,
A requiem plays for joys left behind.
...
Sacrifice.. oh! what a word.
A concept that may seem unheard.
Yet, we make them every day;
Fighting for what we want to say.
