** The Keeper! Poem by RAJ NANDY

THE KEEPER
We are the keeper of the dove,
We are the keeper of the flame, -
The keeper of love!
We must first shower our love
and learn to embrace, -
To receive love in return and to be
blessed!
We are also the breeders of intolerance
and hate!
We are the shapers of our destiny and
fate!
We are also the keepers of our history,
We create mighty monuments and statues, -
To become the preserves our story!
But life’s mysteries in the end overtakes
us all!
We become the keeper of ashes and the
snow flakes that fall! !
But the good Lord remains the keeper of
our soul, -
As mankind’s history He gradually unfolds!
