Waiting


Christmas around the corner

Sweet smell of cake hovering around

Old couple 

Confined in a room

Holding hands 

Comforting each other

Remembering the old golden busy days

Of partying with children and relatives

Now everyone is busy in their own life

 Old couple

 Forlorn

 Depression setting in

 Still

Trying to count their blessings

 Waiting anxiously

With a little hope in their heart

For a knock on the door

Indira Mukhopadhyay

I'm 68 years old, wife of Ayudh Bhushan( an award conferred by Director Genral Of Ordnance Factories, India). I love everything that life has bestowed on me. Good as a blessings and bad as an experience and strength to fight more. I love music, drawing and writing poems and short story for challenges. I believe that sharing is caring.
