Blessings divine

I was searching for something among my old files at home and suddenly a piece of paper fell down. a lost and found story..A piece of my mind..

The year must 1995 or 1996..I was shattered in those days.. My loving mother died and a year is gone yet..One day i received a letter from my mother in law ( an ardent devotee of Kanchi Periyaval.. She can live without water and food but not without writing "Sree Rama Jayam ". Isn't this enough to make her blessings divine..The letter was an ordinary "Inkeyum sowkyam , ankeyum sowkyam" ..But it ends with "Blessings from Vijaya lakshmi "..
and I penned the following lines:

To my MOTHER (in-law)

Ah. what a laziness it was of others
I bow my head in reverence to them,
that I was able to receive in my hands
Thine Blessings Divine.

I know it was there for me
in thine heart of hearts
and now sent a la post
to fill my mind with joy.

I now wish very much
that others be lazy always
and i can receive
Thine Blessings Divine.

It is my prayers also
that thee shall not wait
for others to be lazy
to shower upon me
Thine Blessings Divine.

(I was told that she wrote the
letter to me because she did not
receive any letters from her sons
and she found some time to pen to me)
