Ode of My Life 

Ode of My Life
Bodhisattwa Parekh

Once I was a part of a happy family life,
Me, my wife, and my little son,
Four years old.
We built a little heaven,
Inside the house.
We were a part of a happy family.

These happy days didn't stay long.
On a summer vacation,
We went to Darjeeling.
On the moment of sightseeing,
Our bus dropped into a deep hole.
None survived, excluding two,
Me and an unknown traveller.
We both lost left legs.
And became handicapped.
My wife and child died.
Alike other travellers.
My dark days of life begin.
It is continuing.

Nowadays, days come and go.
Without any diversity.
Those golden memories of the past
Help me to live a life.
