When angels met
Link Posted on
Forgive me if when I yawn like a roaring tiger
Or sleep like a unwashed dripping table cloth
But sometimes I am so sweet as in shading you from the sunray, what a wonderful mountain we had ever seen!
Don’t forget our daily activities; “Hide and Seek”
Sweeping time
Umbrella stealer
And of course the napping hour
As I stepping into my retirement age, I’ll do some recycle works for earning some pocket monies
Beside that, I spent most of my times on creating different kind of sleeping styles and start thinking of what life is all about!
Forgiving me as my sickness getting severe, it always makes me feeling thirsty, I’ve got no choice to sip water on and off, but then you are so gentle to wipe my face and the body dry from getting flu
They said I am an Angel go to you, I said you are my Angel come to me
I know my life is short, but why are they wrapping me like DHL package? At least let me have a chance to hug you…
I heard your sobbing in the morning, while you calling my name, and you saw my foot prints on the floor, you realized I have never left you, yes! yes! I am always in the sunray…
Thank you for resting me here, I know I was well loved by you all, that is good enough. I’ll covered by the greenery and bird chirping and your usual daily meals. Thank you my friend! Just remember my name “Pappu”.
