MY Loves

My Loves

I love

 the golden sun, snaking through the  yellow-green paddy fields;

I love

the flirting dragon flies skimming and dancing over pools,

glassy and clear revealing yet another world of wonder;

I love

the profound innocence reflected in the eyes of a new born babe

I love

 The kittens seven days  old gently  opening their eyes to spy a world new;

I love

the new born puppies  snuggling to their mother;

I love

 the  sprightly chickens newly hatched ;

I love

the yellow ducklings taking to water straight from their shells;

I love

the frisky young calves playing on the meadow;

I love

The new born lambs with their wobbly legs.

I love

the trees putting forth their tender leaves  after the fall;

I love

the slow smile lighting up my partner’s  eyes when he sees me

I love

the friendly gleam and  the radiating warmth in my friends’ eyes as they greet me;

I love

The black drongo, natures mimic surprising me with his mimicry;

I love

The squirrel scolding the stalking cat;

I love

my little ones gurgling laughter of sheer pleasure;

I love

my Amma’s hearty “have a nice day mackale” over the phone

 though stricken with physical pains and aches;

I love

my younger brothers pleasant and vibrant  “hello lathakka” and their teasing and leg pulling over the phone

I love

the endearing  natures of my two sisters,

I love

my friends  hearty infectious laughter that drives away my blues  

I love

the spontaneous warm affection, sincerity and readiness to help of a friend newly gained

I love  

 the   echo of concern of my best friend when she calls me after missing me in the college;

I love

the endearing and sincere “hello chechi ”of our young  family friend

I love

the crab like sensitivity of my close friend

I love

the voice of  my Lord I hear, the moment I am torn and broken  

All these  loves 

My priceless treasures 

Urge me  to go on

 Making every new day a joy ride.
