I have just entered the threshold of your life n home
I am the most recent chapter of life's changes
I am here for scrutiny, speculation ,judgement
And ready for any prejudices metted out
Like a newly bloomed rose I ,ll be evaluated
But in my heart I have an embryonic desire
Growing every instant more and more intense
That if I leave this homestead after a time
Then I should be genuinely missed
This house should be incomplete without me
I should reside in every heart
This is my yearning, my prayer
To give me love enough to shower in abundance
And endurance enough to tolerate any wrong done
Courage enough to smile even in rough weather
Vitality enough to aid one and all
And sweetness enough to bathe my words in honey
Let me chain my anger with reins of humor
It is my dream that I be the soul
Of this jumble of wood and bricks
My hands should make it home
My hummed melodies offkey but cheerful should
Reverberate in its rooms
The aroma of my recipes should attract drooling mouths
It should be my kingdom
Where every flower smiles in my tender care
Where every window pane shines with my caress
Where I am loved, acknowledged, appreciated
Where I am indispensable...

This is my desire...
