My Christmas...

-


I wake up on a cold floor,
No blanket for cover,
My mom doesn't hug me,
The stocking isn't filled,
My tree is not that green,
Snow doesn't seem too serene.
Dad doesn't dress up as Santa,
Sweets aren't meant for me
I like them but,
nobody gets any for me.
I am the same as you,
but not as fortunate,
I too wish for toys new,
But none do i get!

    Marita, thats a very valid question we all face.All of us want to help but we don't know how.From whatever little i have done, i have learnt that the kids apart from gifts need your love and attention.If some of us spare some time and visit them,talk to them,  we can give them happiness in abundance.They really crave for love like other kids!

    the question remains, what are we doing to make the lives of kids like this brighter, not just for Christmas but all year round?

    Very touching. While all of us are busy celebrating Christmas, we forget to think about those who are less fortunate than us. They too deserve as much as a Christmas as us!

    My sister does this Secret Santa projects for unfortunate kids. This poem reminded me of her. She spends Christmas with them gives them toys they will never know who gave.

    we are so selfish, we are not in a position to spend some thing for the unfortunate.

"Say you love me"

They slept close.Slowly, his hand slid inside her clothes.She didn't react, pretended to sleep.He touched her and it made her face him.She opened her mouth to ask but his lips stopped her.Withdrawing, he asked her, "say you love me", she could just nod.She does not remember what happened next except the excruciating pain enough to bring tears in her eyes. Next morning she asked him "I told you I love you then why did you hurt me bhaiya?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is an attempt to highlight the fact that child abuse is not something that happens in others houses only.It could be happening right under our noses, making us ignorant.It is not something to be ashamed of and swept under the carpet in the name of society.With a little awareness from our side, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt to be a child. ----------------------------------------------------------

Little packets of hope...

Things are not going your way, Black is more evident in the gray, Not a smile on your face, Nothing gives you solace.. Everyone and everything appear distant, In favoring you, luck seems hesitant, You feel time is not on your side, and there is nothing you haven't tried. Just when you think it can't get worse, Something happens and life seems like a curse, You stop smiling and give it all up, Not half filled, its an empty cup. I am the same as you, Having felt this,in times old and new. But now when i look and ponder, It all makes perfect sense, i realize in wonder. The cup was always filled up to the half, I found no reason to not laugh, There are little joys around in every season, Always believe everything happens for a reason. Just when you think its difficult to cope, Look around, You will always find , Little packets of hope!

I don't wish for a fairy tale....

Neither the red roses, nor the candle light.. No popping of the bubbly on a moonlit night.. I don't live on the rainbow, the huge castle isn't mine, long tresses are Rupenzel's, without the genie i do just fine! Not the sea shore bonfire, limo is too huge for two.. Dont want a life queen size.. only love n comfort will do! All of it is impressive but am not looking for materiality.. I dont wish for a fairy tale.. just a beautiful reality..
