Parakeets

What have I gained in falling in love with you?

My whole life has been a mystery without love

Wondering away from place to place

Then, if it was not for you, I would not receive your love

I cannot blame you, for my love is pure like Ganges

But yet I am to be blamed if I deceive you

By conscious effort of what you refuse

I forgive your robbery of my heart

Because you give me happiness

Like no other while stealing away my poverty

Thy love is a great relief

To undergo transformation spiritually

Which reduces my injury

Thankful to God’s grace who turns illness to wellness

And I learn to grow despite my illness and my foes

Whom I keep closer like my friends
