Covid-19: A Doctor's Last Visit To His Family



"Don't panic, but we're all in panic due to this pandemic,
I've been ‘midst our fellow-beings gripped with Covid-19,
I treated my fellow-citizens with the Divine courage -
The courage of selfless sacrifice for everyone is God's children.
You found me elsewhere and I sought thee elsewhere,
And we begot our offspring elsewhere,
And it's all the plan of the Creator just for a while.
I know you are carrying our third life,
And our life has a meaning in the Book of God.
Here I'm at the gateway threshold just outside,
I can't step in to steal the show and hug thee,
I can watch thy eyes shrouded with enigmatic tears:
Tears of pride of my service or tears of my departure,
I look into thy womb carrying our love within,
My heart perceives the movements of our tiny babe,
I wish I can touch its slender fingers and proclaim my selfless service,
Yet I hope you can teach our babe in my absence.
Look at our two kids standing at thy side,
They look for my entry inside with a smile of hope,
I don't like to kill their hope, so teach them too of my lasting service,
I leave with thee all our nostalgic bygone moments with thee all,
This is my last visit on earth and we shall visit again in the next world.
Be brave on earth fighting the evil and win the battle of pain.
Catch my hug and take it into thy heart and pass it into our kids.
Adieu! Adieu! Adieu!
Final Call is ringing into my ears.
