Life is so unpredictable! So what is new about it you may ask? The
new thing is, I can blog about it ;).
My son Rayyan came home for a week... I had big plans for us.
First I went down with viral infection; which instantly degraded Rayyan from
being the precious child on a visit home, to a ward boy. Poor thing! Later when
I planned to visit our best friend; a precious girl who is like a daughter to me, married recently and living in her in-laws place, I decided to have a
check up with my doctor on way because of constant pain in the lowest part of
my abdomen. My doctor found a grape sized polyp which was looking sinister
there. She was sure it should be taken out as soon as possible, especially
since I have already been through cancer earlier. We had a little friendly
discussion, (she is my doctor but also a good friend) whether I should wait
till Rayyan leaves or have him there to be my caretaker after the surgery. She
convinced me to do it when he was around.
I took leave from her because I wanted to finish what I started.
So we went ahead to our friend’s house, spent some nice time there and then I
got into the hospital. There is a lot to talk about my hospital
experience and my hours in hell due to some minor duty lapse on behalf of the
staff… but that is for later. Not fit enough to do full blogging yet. Keep me in
your prayers because I am waiting for the report on the polyp. Hope it is
benial and has nothing to do with cancer….
When in hospital I heard someone call a lousy person “YOU DONKEY” and I recalled something I had written back
in my school days. Sharing one of my old poems with you.. hope no one will
start arguing about this again …
THE DONKEY’S GRIEF
Once I saw a donkey,
climbing a mountain in great speed
I wondered what had
happened, and tried to inquire, but it did not heed
Perceiving there was
something fishy going on, I followed it to the top
I saw the donkey
ready to jump; unable to bear I shouted “STOP”
I asked, “Why are you
dying ‘O’ donkey, though you are so wise?
Don’t you know
committing suicide is an act of cowardice?”
The donkey wept
bitterly and asked “How can you know my worry?
If you have patience
to bear, I will tell you my story.
I have served my
master all my life, with great love and care
Unlike his
disobedient children who just roam here and there
But now whenever his
children do something, which is not good
He calls them ‘You
donkeys’, which is a disgrace to whole donkeyhood
How can I bear to
hear him compare his bad children with me?
Instead of being
compared with lousy humans, better dead I would be”
I had no words of
comfort to say to this poor creature
But I resolved never
to compare any human to animal in future.
:D I know Rayyan must have loved taking care of you :)
