Watching a TV Serial
Nidhu Bhusan Das
Jessie, your son, brought me back to life
And I’m sheltered in your lap.
I’m yours, mom, I promise
I cannot but fulfill what you wish.
You’ve told Jessie, lovelorn, is cheerful again
In my presence at your home, and you want it to sustain
With me beside him. You’ve shown my picture
Vermilion on forehead, yet want to have me
As your daughter-in-law. Overwhelmed I’m.
Though I’ve promises to keep, I’ll preserve
The bouquet Jessie brought for me.
