Train of Goodness

(A tribute to my daughter Samadhee and my nephew Devinda)

Your large hearts of slight frames hold me in wonderment Making us too small
To understand your ‘song of innocence’.
You soar high with your butterfly spirits
Making the world still a good place
With space for forgiveness, love and warmth…

Samadhee- Devinda
‘Meditation’ and ‘godliness’
You live up to your names.
You testify that you cannot carry baggage
Of adult folly-

You are you and you only… Akki and malli
Together you form the train of goodness

Your ‘carriages’ of patience and unconditional love
Reaching stations of love without strings…
In your train We are merely passengers
Journeying across boulders and cliffs
A long way to the final destination
At which you will signal
If at all we have passed the test…

Samadhee and Devinda
My butterfly beauties
May your goodness remain
Unscathed- forever.
