League Of Extraordinary Humans Poem by Soma Mukherjee

Dear Mom and Dad,
As I started writing this letter
All the beautiful memories started rushing back
How beautiful and magical my childhood has been
Those picnics in forests, the festivals, the summer vacations
Mom’s story telling sessions, our morning walks
Summer specials she used to make for us

In my mom I saw
Depth of ocean
Sweetness of honey
Freshness of spring
Cool Comforting shade in hot scorching summer
Laughter of child
Wisdom of sages
Peace of dove
Calmness of pink
Patience personified
As protective as a mamma bear
As loving and selfless and nature
Thanks MOM for showing me how,
For you taught me greatness of a person was not in his degrees
Or pedigrees but what they did with it the rest of their life
You taught me the power of humility,
To be Thankful to those who showered me with their friendships
You showed me how blessed we all were in all the things we had small or big

In my dad I saw,
Strength of a mountain,
Power of sun
Happiness of spring
Warmth of early summer
Majesty of ocean
Generosity of nature
Comfort of warm blanket in winter
Wisdom of ages
Vibrancy of rainbow
Vision of eagle
Eloquence of Einstein
Comic timing of Charlie Chaplin
Wit and humour of Oscar Wilde
Thank you DAD, for showing me how....
And If I can be even half of what you are and have been,
I will consider myself lucky
You taught me the importance of every word I said
For a wrong or hurtful word, you said, did more harm than a sword ever could
Warm comforting words straight out of heart were all that people needed most of the times you said

Both of you taught me every one was born special,
Treated the same by nature, in rewards or in catastrophe
And that life is same for everyone,
But those who get up and work hard can make it extra ordinary

Trying to be in your league, mom and dad
THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY HUMANS...
Love you……
