An Hour At An Orphanage

Those little angels!!

Opening the door I could see,

Warm welcoming faces heading towards me like never before,

Surrounded with shrieks of joy

& few voices whispering, "hi didi ...";

I saw a flicker of hope which started shining & those innocent eyes,

That held beautiful smiles;

Its those little angels...

As they came running for hugs,

I wished to hold them tightly

& say you are the most dearest ones

To that someone who is high above all of us;

That eagerness

To touch our arms & cheeks,

Clearly showed their craving for affection;

That gratitude they felt for small things,

Which we usually take as granted,

Made us learn the value of simple little things in life;

Its those little angels...

Whose initial quiet voices,

Ended with a loud adieu ("goodbye didi..") !!
