what I learnt in 2020

In the year 2020 I learnt kindness 

And resilience from my father 

How to love despite hating

From my little brother

And sincerity of purpose 

From my mum mum mother. 

Apart from this the guy on the street

Taught me a lot; how to care, share

And give even if you have none;

The gurdwara taught me that all

Are welcome in God's abode

And it pays to be kind

You never know who might need it. 

My homeopath taught me to

Never judge; my parents taught me

Life is for giving; what I learnt in return

Was simply this that I'm a tiny

Miniscule speck, but worth 

Someone's kind words and deeds;

I learnt the important thing is forgiveness 

And gratitude as I was medicated

To a headless chicken, not able to move;

2020 taught me that my path is mine

But in the process of owning it

I must give, listen and be kind;

I battle health challenges and 

Am feeling miserable; but I hope

To be kinder and more forgiving still;

I read books that taught me to

Have a vision, a goal when all

About me crashed and I was giving up hope;

I wish to embrace all life in 2021;

My only wish is to leave my Mark on the world.
