INDEED, WE ARE THANKFUL TO MANY!
To satisfy our hunger, the food, we eat,
Were cultivated, grown and reaped by many!
To quench our thirst, the water, , we drink,
Was dug out of the Earth’s bowel by many!
To maintain our decency, the clothes, we put on,
Were the outcomes of a process involved by many!
To keep us safe from hostilities, the houses, we live in,
Were erected by the collective sweats of many!
To remain hale and hearty, the medicines, we take,
Were discovered, and endeavoured by many!
For knowledge and well-being, the books, we peruse,
Were written, printed and designed by many!
The much sought after Freedom we relish and enjoy,
Were the fruits of the endless sacrifices of many!
The vehicles we, as swift
as air, drive, sail and fly by,
Were invented, engineered and manufactured by many!
Indeed, we are owed to the unseen and unsung heroes many,
In respect of Yens, Pounds, dollars, Rupees or many a Penny,
For their unspeakable and unthinkable contributions for us,
In million ways to make our lives happy, cozy and delicious!
Still, can we forget our next to Godlike Parents,
Who have selflessly paid for us all the fees and rents?
Can we forget our Gurus, Guides, and Teachers,
Who have amazingly gifted us with our present features?
Still, our thankfulness will surely be incomplete,
If we are oblivious of the ever Merciful Almighty,
Who is the Supreme Master of all these generous Many,
Who has made them eligible, efficient and uniquely brainy!
