Right hand, right leg paralysed

It was really matter of grief when your father was bedridden after a paralytic stroke in the year 2017. The inscription you have made in the poem provides a painful sight. I get shock from these lines.....He tries, tries and tries / And, no / The leg does not move, / Frustrations roll down his eyes. From your replied comment on our great poetess Valsa George I came to know that your father is more. May his soul rest in peace.

I too share the same feelings which you have expressed in your poem. Recently my sister had a stroke and she was paralysed. She could not move her right hand or leg initially. Her plight has saddened all of us. Now after rigorous therapies, she is able to walk a little. But can't speak still! We keep praying to God for her improvement. Bharati, how is your father now? Your deep concern for your father is so evident in these lines. I too pray and wish he improves. A touching write!

hey, bharati! i feel the plea in this poem. it makes me think of an older friend i knew, so vital and supportive of her daughter, who suffered a stroke. it was my first experience with a stroke victim i knew personally. we talked, she and i, and i could feel her frustration with the mouth and the rest of her body which could not obey her still-active mind. -glen

I have remembered my father as you have remembered. Receiving grace of a father one daughter can lead and get success. You have understood the right duty. This poem is very emotion. This reflects pain and memory. I pray for peace of your father...10+

A pain notes in poetry form, a memory to recite...and besides that its a lovely one because it delivered from a heart, from a daughter that cares to a father that always beloved. I know how difficult to see and handle this, i helped to take care my grandma bedridden once before she passed away. But you know, in that time the hand, legs and everything for your father are the same, you. You are everything he needs...and you gave all..thats beautiful isnt?

Love of a daughter is described in such a touching manner that being a father and a grandfather tears came into my eyes. Yes, poetry can make us smile and it can make us cry, specially when the poetess is Bhrati Nayak.

The strong, and proud human being. And nature once again makes us dependent. The fate of us all, a message, a reminder to the proud one. Parents are great blessings and mostly selfless. Very nice poem

So feelingly writ piece on father. It brought my memories back when my father died at 102 years after a brief illness. I was with him in that last month, and last critical week, and still remember he died in my arms. Even at this ripe age when death is a reliever, it is hard to see him go.

This is so sad to know about father's painful situation and feel the situation of tearful eyes. This is so sad to know that his right hand, right leg are paralyzed. Frustrations roll down but still we offer prayer for his recovery before God and we expect positive vibration of peace for him. A sympathetic and emotional poem is excellently penned...10
