Gratitude
Never do you dispel me afar, rains-
The sun though hides away.
When flowers smile on turf-clad slim lawn,
You do feel sleepy as well !
I look beside the cafeteria only to see
A painted motif of a damsel's chest.
These aren't mine I know --
My fearless hands are in the hands
of Mother Teressa.
May those remain so !
