My SONS

 

Thank you merciful GOD for giving everything

Thank you mighty GOD for giving health and happiness

Thank you omniscient GOD for giving a lovely family

I supplicate to grant us these - all times

I am grateful to my parents

For bringing me up

And making me what I was not

My debts to them are myriad

I am blessed with the wealth to stay on

And a good place to live on

Thank you for sending us two lovely sons

The day they came to us was our life

The sons are the suns

12^th is the number of the month

that they were born

One on November 12^th and the other on April 12

12 becomes my favorite

How happy we are to have you both

With you both, it’s all happiness

And so happy to be with you two

Our dearest sons

May God grant us to live for seven or more generations

You are our world little ones

We would do everything;

To make a better person

A good person

A living person

My new born baby sleeping sweet

Oh! how we like you

Changing and kicking out!

Me and my baby

His mother feeding

When he was seven days old

 

I am indebted to my father and mother

Four of us with our best

Two of us

My dear little ata baby in Tsirang

Baby ata and his mother

Baby ata and his father(me)

Proud to be a boy and studying in Darla MSS

In Gelephu. Three of us

On the way to Trongsa a long time ago

During Blessed Rainy Day near Gedu

Inside Darla MPH watching the concert show. Baby Danced!!

A Hiccup

A momentary hiccup

Strikes me

spilling over sudden sadness

And bringing inexplicable memories.

Etching my desperate soul

When I know, you're no longer with me.

A sudden silence in-between

Stirs so many dreams,

Afires with life and joys,

But the odd sense of feelings

Lumps my way out

When I see, you're no longer with me.

(Trapped in these hiccup and un-hiccup)

Alone I live, longing for a joy at the end

The race of this life

Makes me painful

And counting without wife

Makes me fool

And I hope, they are not to stay long.

Footnote: A momentary hiccup in the poem shows two sudden shifts of moments; a hiccup bringing sorrows while hiccupping and dreams of joys that are right after the short hiccup, as one feels new and fresh once you hiccup-just for a moment, or it reflects a temporary setback to somebody’s plans or arrangements. In this way, it also reflects the transitory nature of life—one quick joy and one quick sorrow in life. Anyways, to me, I live each day with hopes for tomorrow, though I have to walk with these two hiccups.

Thank You My Teachers

As I write today here, and as I write about my Teachers’ Day, all that comes to my mind is ‘Thank you,’ ‘Thank you,’ and ‘Thank you.’ Today, I write words of excitement and appreciation. Words devoted to many great souls. This short note is in honor of all my teachers and professors and the life you all have made me. Truthfully, a million pages of gratitude are not enough.

I thank YOU ALL a million times, for what you have done is sometimes more than anyone else could. When I first came to the class, I was nervous and skeptical, but there was just this huge abundance of fine people who helped me to get my groundings. Thank you all for teaching, thank you all for guiding, thanking you all for showing a smooth path in learning and reading literature. You have been the best friend, a teacher, a guide, and a parent.

Thank you for all that you are and for all that you did, and for caring us. We know your work is more to you than just a job, it is a calling, and for that, we are so grateful for your sacrifices.

I have learned to read better. I wouldn’t have understood that the world is round, or there are many countries like ours, or who is me? What? How? Why? and etc, etc if it weren’t taught by you all.

You all deserve a huge congrats and thanks. Who could forget our amazing trip? Who could forget our noisy class? Who could forget the charming and angry faces, where you get annoyed with too many works and responsibilities? There are many good things to be remembered…

I probably can’t thank you all enough.

Thank you for everything, my teachers.

I am happy because while I cannot be with you all with me, I can at least keep the memories with me always in my heart.

Thank you very much, Mrs, and Mr. xyz.
