Spirit Like A Beacon!

Like a bubbling spring she was, the first time when I saw her!
Laughing, running, and playing was she everywhere!
It was as if you wanted to hold a bunch of flowers all in your hand
Some would go out into the cold as you handle them tender!
She was ethereal, I thought, her spirit so bright and beaming
I saw some time later, she was a soul that seen many things
Like the river ganga near Varanasi, she bears all the responsibilities
Like a vessel full to the brim, never showing if she is grim
Her people around her as if travelling in tranquil in a vessel
Life is kind but not always, when I saw her later, she was
In a huge turmoil as if her vessel was struggling in a typhoon
Yet her poise was great, as she served them with generosity
Generating out of her lovable spirit, and bearing all the weight
Yet never feeling afraid of the thunderous floods that followed
He left her company after a long life with care and spirit,
Even when he could not get out of his bed, he supported her and heard
Controlling with a glance, as kids were uneasy with the care bestowed
As she vested on them and they grumped.
She was shattered, but not in spirit, standing against all odds,
She supported her children and gave them solace, and strength
Little does she reflect on the unstoppable past, she like a guiding light
Is always showing the path following his lesson of Karma siddhant,
Never complaining of the hurricanes, the wonderful person that she is!
How blessed am I to be their loving child!
