A Sweet Word Is An Inspiration Poem by umaprosad das

It's a matter of happiness and pleasure
For parents, teachers or well wishers
When their student, daughter or son
Get settled up in their life with satisfaction

I'm one of those lucky fellows, in this sense
As a teacher or a father; whose expectations
Fulfilled by my competent students and son
Who get settled up in their life with satisfaction

I'm at my Banprasth* stage, a senior citizen
Feel isolated in retired life; hence I gain
A lot of pleasure; when they contact me
To know our well beings or visit us to see

As days and years pass by, I will be old
None at my side by, I may no longer be bold
At that hopeless and hapless old age stage
Sweet word is inspiration, when a dear one says
