'Benevolent Heart' Poem by Queeny Gona

'Benevolent Heart'

Rating: 5.0


Fading memories' flashing every now and then,
In life's sojourn sparkles the quiet hearts enliven
To recollect the impressions of fascinating moments

Three young lads' day out with peers
On a biblical expedition to Raamay Patnam
In the early hours of a day, enthralled their souls!

Cheery travel around the beach ended on day break
Took upon heels, to quench our thirst & ease belly with snacks
Just like our pals!

Younger brother tugged himself to dear sister
Criticizing my elder brother of his un-thoughtful act
It's my turn to grumble against him for his generous deed!

All that pained us is: my elder brother of his kind nature,
Offered up to single rupee given by parents to purchase snacks
To an elderly lady with semi exposed body on the streets.

Moved by her pale and scale face,
He extended his hand sacrificing our needs
Today, we realize and salute him for his generosity at a young age!

Thanking the LORD the Heavenly Father,
For having given you meek and contrite heart
To be a living testimony for HIS Glory!

Reflections of the past moments
As a token on your Birthday!
With Love and Reverence from your beloveds

I dedicate this poem to my elder brother i.e. Mr. Aryl Jacob Gona who has been my spiritual guide and role model to walk in love. During our primary schooling, me and my siblings visited a tourist spot and the incident took place over there!

The episodes in retrospection and the rendering style in tune with the pacing phases of narration have created an amazing effect on the minds. A wonderful poem from Queeny Gona who was off the PH for long.. I give 10 marks to this write..
