You Are My Heartbeat Poem by umaprosad das

You are the beat of my Heart, who has never been apart
From me in my grief and despair
Whenever I am sick, you are sympathetic
To sooth my pain with love and care
Treat me with medicine, diet and nursing
Everything, I want and need
Make me feel good, all in smiling mood
Along with domestic chores and outhouse deed
After bath, early in the morning, you worship and sing a hymn
In front of your Idol Goddess Laxmi
Blow aloud conch thrice, Hindu rituals symbolize
Welfare for all, peace and harmony
Being a pious Hindu Lady, you are ever ready
To perform all rituals and meditation
To please your Deity and soften, you keep fasting often
In favour of your daughter-in-law and son
You are the worthy mother, made me a proud father
Of our only son, full of humanities
Being far away abroad, they never ignore to afford
Providing us love, support and amenities
You have respect and faith, over me in depth
Love me, encourage me in all my activities, I do or go
You never complain, nor ever give any blame
On anything taking as inferior or low
You share laughter and tear, with sympathy and care
Of our known unknown neighbours
You are generous to help, with your time and wealth
To the needy in their odd hours
You are my heartbeat, take part in every need
In all activities, thought and belief
I'm blessed and fortunate, God has made you my life-mate
In the harsh heat called ‘life', a cool mist of relief.
