The Mediterranean Delicacy Sun-kissed lands yield golden beans,ground to paste, a feast convenes.Tahini, rich, a nutty flow,garlic’s hum, a soft, low glow.Lemon zest cuts through the mild,spoonfuls stirred, by hands beguiled.Olive oil, a gleaming stream,dances atop, a glossy dream.Peppers red, a spicy kiss,a pinch of salt, nothing amiss.Savored slow, each taste a tale,of sea-swept shores,…
International Nurses Day In halls of white, they tread so light,Gentle hands, the night’s command.Candles burn at bedsides turned,Silent prayers, in wearied layers.Footsteps echo, soft yet firm,Through quiet wards, they form a swarm.Hearts that listen, eyes that see,Sparing none from empathy.Woven stories in their care,Lives uplifted from despair.Gauze and bandage, hope re-spun,Till the rising of…
Today, the flowers seem to bow,Colors muted under sorrow’s shroud.The cards lay still upon the table,Unread verses, emotions unable.Sunlight streams, but lacks its glow,Shadows longer than they ought to show.Morning tea cools in its cup,Silent toasts to memories brought up.A smile forced, through tears that fall,Her laughter echoes off the walls.Alone, I hold the gifts…
Grace and Glory Bells toll in the morning light,Songs of grace fill the air bright.Hands folded, heads gently bow,In church pews, we honor them now.Flowers laid on sacred ground,Soft prayers are a soothing sound.Heroes slept, in peace, they rest,With crosses marking their brave quest.Through faith, their courage we recall,For freedom, they gave their all.God’s love,…
Little Heroes’ Day Flags flutter, bright and high,In the breeze, under the sky.Picnics on this sunny day,In the park where children play.We remember, with a cheer,Heroes brave, both far and near.They kept safe our lands and seas,So we live in peace and ease.Thank you, heroes, for your might.Thanks for making our world right.With small hands,…
World Lupus Day Ribbons loop in purple hues,Voices echo, strong and clear.Day breaks over silent fears,Shadows flee as light pursues.Hands unite to form a chain,Eyes meet with shared resolve.Together, mysteries we solve,In winds of change, we stand again.Courage blooms on faces worn,Hope is sewn into the seam.Life—a challenging, vibrant stream,From dusk’s approach to rosy morn.Celebrate…

Europe Day May’s gentle light, a union’s bond,Old cities sing a hopeful song.From distant hills to vibrant streets,A continent where history meets.Peace weaves through the market square,Unity’s dream floats on the air.Different tongues, one common plea,Freedom, justice, harmony.Stars on flags, blue as the sea,Symbolize our shared decree.East to West, under one sky,Together we aim, high…
World Donkey Day Each eighth of May, we pause to praise,The humble donkey and its ways.Across the globe, in fields and farms,They labor on with quiet charms.Burden bearers in sun’s harsh ray,Carrying hope, day by day.In rural hearts, they’re beasts of burden,On rocky paths, by river and garden.A call for care, a plea for respect,Against…
