Revisiting the letter to Mother on Death Bed- Part Four

I n my academic or personal life too,
There were many dates.
To recollect only the recent dates,
January 19, September5th and the more recent
December 9th, all taught me vital lessons.

I am not a great believer in religion,
I have hardly developed the
Good habit of going to temples,
I did go and pray for a few
On select occasions,
But I could not make it as a habit
As a natural impulse
Even the student driven fiat
Could not fully succeed in
Completely transforming me.

But the wise and benevolent Destiny
Has neither abandoned me
Nor you.
The Great power, the ultimate power
Behind this expanding universe,
Has just held both of us,
More lovingly, caringly.
On September 5th, I would have gone
Just like that ,
Leaving you, alone and orphaned.
He did save me,
Many a time I have fallen
I have been made to fall
But He took care of me.

You and Father took care of me
Now, again the backdrop of my
Folly, my lapse,
Your cumulative folly and incidents,
When that great fall had
Befallen us,
There were saviors, messengers
Sent by God,
The old, pious lady,on the street
The lady Doctor and her husband,
All acted in tremendous ‘act’
To prevent your pulse rate from falling
And the Heart to revive itself.

How much insults and wrong words
That enduring heart must have
Faced and weathered all kinds of storm?
In the able hands of the neighbor,doctors
You were resurrected.
Rushed to the Govt Hospital.
