An altruistic admirer...

I will seldom worry

For I never tried

Proving to these mortals-

That I am perfect-

I will never wonder

Why their faulty eyes

And filthy hearts-

Rummage the same

In me!

 

I will never endeavor-

To be the best for them

Oh my honest folk!

For,

Here in this massive earth,

There are some,

Who still admire

My adversity!

 

 

Yes,

Gratitude to leniency of

This grand God

That there are some,

Who still adore me!

The way I am

And I remember:

 

When I saw that

First sparrow perching

On the window pane-

And I babbled, yes…

You came rushing

You understood

My indescribable experience

And kissed my forehead…

 

When my clumsy legs

Ascended from the crawl

And I walked, yes…

The glittering streams of gladness

Meandering down

From your mighty eyes

Blessed me…

 

When my tiny fingers

Wrote this first letter

A-

Which from no angle

Looked alike-

Still!

You felt the brilliance

And praised me…

 

Your kisses worked

And here speak, I

These thousand words-

And the world listens,

They applaud…

 

Your tears worked

And here traverse, I

These dense woods-

And chase the beam of Sun

Radiance, hence, spreads…

 

Your praises worked

And here write, I

These unseen arts-

And describe the unnoticeable hue

Charms, hence, glorifies

 

So,

Expect from me-

No change for them,

For they love…

This perfectionist in me!

 

And I worry

Not even a bit,

For there are some,

Who still love…

This child in me!

 

And I, too, love you…

[My mom and Dad]

A beautiful tribute to your parents! Its remarkable for the way it flows so naturally through the mountains of emotions and comes to say it in a simple and plain manner. These are the truest kind of words a person would come across.
