Another tragedy started
A lot of our family members have departed
Next day for some of us life will remain the same

WOODY THE PIGEONWoody the pigeon
Lives in the tree

Such a glee
A lifetime partner
To share his days
With eggs to father
That his girl layed
Woody the pigeon
Shared his tree
With beautiful imogen
The girl he needs
The little eggs hatch
Out pops...

Oh My God, Take A BreakIn the early morning light, my daughter's question
Echoes in the quiet of our home:
"Amma, does God listen to everybody's prayers?"
Without hesitation, I assure her,
"Yes, sweetheart, he hears every plea."
But then, her innocent insight:
"She just asked...

I wanted to sit and write this day
of some feelings I had this morn,
Of the many Sisters I've misjudged
and left all forlorn,
I know that there is greatness
in every sisters life, there are heroes'

Dear my babyI was criticized and humiliated
Only because I chose love.
I was bad mouthed and cursed
Only because I chose myself.
I used to think they loved me
And I realized it was because they benefitted....

Cold PorridgePatrick, Pearl and Phillip were fond siblings, in halcyon days of fairy tales;
Long beloved of Mother and Father, like beloved ballads of all nightingales.
Father was a successful tailor, creating finest clothes for women and men;

Grandma's Magical QuiltA silhouette
Backlit by glowing silver-gray
Lanky shadow
Lurking in my bedroom doorway
Arms stretch down, impossibly long
Deformed joints, disturbingly wrong
Pretending sleep
Muscles strain, be utterly still
Begin to shake
Body trembles against my will
I dream, irrationally hope
I scream, intentionally? Nope.

HeirloomsSome families have heirlooms
Passed down often through the years
So their legacy will not be one
That somehow disappears.
Whether jewelry or furniture
Or curios or art,
Certain objects in a family
May play a vital part.
There might even be some...
