“EVER INDEBTED”
Should I thankyou, O Krishna
Or curse my foolish stamina
On spur,a sudden wish to drive
On practice of only days five
Confident as ever turning keys I started
Eyes didn’t see where foot darted
Lack efficiency,misnomer of capacity
I turned the gear and excellator blindly !
Lo,the car ahead rushed extremely fast
There upon three on skooty put me aghast!
Some power stood that turned vehicle right
Car bumped against the rocky platform on side,
Hitting another car parked on site
Somehow it stopped , vanishing my sprite.
Mama came out ,so did others from house
Apologising I stood, stupid as a mouse!
God was there to save me from shame
Cars stoid with its bonnet damaged as a lame.
The other car was less hurt ,HIS grace!
My heart beat fast at doubled pace!
yet there was a calm in my demeanour
I couldn’t imagine what would have been the picture!
Had HE not saved me from the consequence
I accept the damage would be emmense !
I fear today too,remembering the event
My mind in HIS SERVICE is now more bent!
