Distaces of heart,are true loss.
Written for 6 Word Saturday
*******
Today at Toads , the prompt was to take inspiration from one of the songs in the playlist for a poem. I chose Hymn for the weekend and the only reason is that the video for this song was shot in my home country and I am a little homesick this week before the birthday.
Wonder what distances mean,
for hearts that beat as one;
every smiles and tears
shared over video calls;
days split in time zones,
never missing a moment
to celebrate each special day –
birthdays, anniversaries, festivals
every single one kept on hold
waiting for me to return home;
families – strength to survive
and the reason I go back
to memories carefully wrapped
in prayers I never felt in the past –
Family is a hymn, the angels
guiding my passage to God.
“Family is a hymn” is so beautiful……..when far away, it is good to know we have those who are close in heart. Lovely to meet you!
Yes , this knowledge and feeling is what make living worthy. Thank you for stopping by.
Great take on the prompt. Thanks for joining in. Welcome to #6WSP.
thanks for the welcome and the comment 🙂
Though my loved ones do not live across continents, my lonliness for them is palpable. Thank you for this lovely poem.
Glad you could relate to the feelings 🙂
This is incredibly evocative, Pratibha! ❤️ I could feel every word especially; “strength to survive and the reason I go back to memories carefully wrapped in prayers I never felt in the past.” Thank you so much for writing to the prompt 🙂
It was a wonderful prompt ! Glad I could join 🙂
Beautiful sentiment and writing all. Hope you are well.
Family is a hymn. I just jotted that down in my prayer book. Beautiful.
Yes , i felt that too as I heard the song and writing this verse.
I think I can totally relate with this… beautiful!!
