Return Gift! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

I cannot change what you think of me.
But I can change my thoughts with love for you.
I cannot change the hatred in you for me.
But with love, I can conquer you heart.
My love for you is pure in my heart.
My respect for you is what you are.
Love does wonders
It can bring peace and smile in ones life
And removes ones hatred
If I can bring a peace and smile in your face
I will feel my purpose of life is served.
Love has done wonders in our lives
And will continue to do so,
As long as one human exists.

Even the other species
Show love for each other
I have seen one small
Puppy was played like a football
Passing it from one to other
By the teenagers
But its mother doggie came
It said in cute, meek, hurting voice
To its mother
Suddenly mother sniffed its
Young one all over and
It started sniffing
The passers by.
I couldnt get what was going on
It sniffed me too.
By the time I saw those boys
Had gone too far.
But after reaching home
The entire episode
Came to my mind.

Love does wonders
It give one ray of hope
A soothing words
Can do wonders
It can give life to one
Who is just on its way to commit sucide.

I am happy that
I played the role of healer to many people.
When they came to me with their problems.
Today, when I was
Desperately in need of words
Many words gained my strength.

I thank God, what
Ever well wishes
I have done for others
You have returned me back today
By a way through others.
Still I believe, God is there!
