Balance

One uttered word
a brief glance
1 momentary smile
oru silent prayer
ek patient ear
un quick touch

can make all the difference
in balancing life and death.

And finally when a horrible tenant made a threat on your life Forcing us to keep you safe, away from us I felt your pain… I hated it & missed you terribly too.
