As the first blog entry got exhausted. My second book |
Evolution of Love Part 2 |
“Pick up the bags, it’s time to go”, The clock strikes six and tells me so. I look in the mirror and hear it say, Wish I stayed another day. A mental note of Things to do, Flush my mind and take me through. Pending tasks, spread as hay, Wish I stayed another day. Banks and cards and loans and bills, Undone signs on deeds and wills. Fees and rents I could not pay, Wish I stayed another day. I call for sonny to help me pack, He gets the shoes and brush from rack. With silent words, he blocks my way, Wish I stayed another day. A visit to zoo, a splash in pool, A surprise pick from gate of school. “You promised me!” his tears say, Wish I stayed another day. The lady I love is packing my meal, With tender hands and a heart of steel. Where hundred pains and problems lay, Wish I stayed another day. I hold her near and then realise, I didn’t even hug her once or twice. She smiles at me with nothing to say, Wish I stayed another day. Unsaid words and unsung tales, Compliments, wishes, cards and mails. All change hands in a mystic way, Wish I stayed another day. Dad is mute and strong as ever, Speak of his fears, he will never. Hiding his tears by gazing away, Wish I stayed another day. His pair of specs and bottle of rum, I promise to get, next time I come. He smiles the way I've seen him grey, Wish I stayed another day. On my post in chill and ice, Tired and spent I close my eyes. Faces from home appear to say, Wish you stayed another day. Our good wishes of Xmas & New Year also go to all those, who could not stay another day. 🌻🙏🏻🌻🙏🏻🌻🙏🏻 |
