I am happily stuck at home

Due to the lockdown to prevent the pandemic spread

I cook dishes for my family

I sweep and mop the floor

I cut vegetables many times

For breakfast and lunch and dinner

I clean the toilets to keep it clean

For all of us are home and keep using it

In the midst of all this I keep doing my office work

Hectic it is, no doubt

But I think of all of them with gratitude

My maids who used to help cut veggies

The maid who used to cook for us

Sweep and mop, clean the toilets

The shopkeeper who used to deliver goods

Rice, groceries and all vegetables at home

Our milkman and newspaper boy,

The lady who takes clothes and irons them

And even gives it back to us on time

The farmer who grew our food grains

All the people who transported it to our shops

And now all the doctors, nurses and police force

All those working on essential services

Risking their own lives and that of their loved ones

By being out in the open to ensure

That we stay safe at home and do not fall sick!

How lucky and blessed have I been all this while

To have got all their support for so long

They did it all for a fee I agree

Lot of love and compassion they have shown

Deep in their hearts to keep helping us

Every time they did it for me

A big salute and heartfelt gratitude to them all

Along with a prayer to God that they be safe

That their families stay safe as well

That I can also be of service to them in every possible way

For these sisters and brothers who make my day!

May they all be blessed with abundant health, wealth and cheer, today and always!
