The Retreat





That is my little home painted on the wall -
You may find it shabby and old and faded.
The neighbours have shed their yellow leaves in fall,
Trying so hard to lay a beautiful carpet.

The friendly brook is taking a rest in here.
It had started long from those distant blue hills,
Go it must to that far away land nowhere -
Carrying a message where call of seagull fills.

Go inside my home and you will be surprised!
Its a small space tidied by a caring hand,
The place is alive with my mother's touch prized;
Peace and harmony dwell in our little land.

But you can't find it anywhere on this earth
Because its preserved and cherished in my heart.
