So many smiles

SATURDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2007

Three hundred and more
Dressed in our finest
Smiling for the world
Six years or more
Spent together

Some became experts
Others chose to serve
Travelling the globe
Or staying at home
Families and children
Tragedies and great hopes

But one amongst us
Had started
In marriage
A transformation

I watch and I listen
From afar
To Maha
The representative
Of the “people”
The champion
Of the “cause”

Her white coat long gone
Her black gown
For always to don
Her training
Not for healing
But for leading now

So distant we have grown
But on that day
We stood side by side
A white scarf sufficed
And we both smiled
