(16) THANK U GOD!!

I want to thank god
For making me complete
Giving me potential
To fulfill my deeds

I mean to say something
Allied to physical vigor
For every human being
Though, it doesn’t confer

When I see around
Someone is handicap
Feeling sorry for them
Feel blessed for myself

I marvel how they manage
To do things with impairment
How testing it would be
For them to do the errand

How do they cope with
One hand or none
One leg or none
One eye or none
One ear or none

How do they live with
More barriers like this
When we, with smallest sore
Fret like a kid.

I got cut two days back
Left hand – my little finger
However,I dealt with chores
With though pain and tinker

Twist of fate so weird
I got cut yesterday too
On right hand finger now
Making it hell all through

To make things even worse
I burnt my hand today
I wonder what is happening
With me, anyway.

I am facing deadly troubles
In everything I do
I am feeling very helpless
Just don’t know what to do

I cannot knead the dough
Can’t cut the vegetables
Nor roll the chapattis
Can’t even set the table

Somehow I am doing all
Though with more of pain
And thanking god for my being
All over and over again

For the fortune I have
Of being physical entire
Praying for all impaired
Who live with, yet, no ire.
