Snoopy , My Pet

  I have a friend, a cute little one
  I love to call Snoopy
Just one month old at present
But troublesome enough to me.

But honestly,I rarely mind
Its messing with all my things
Tearing my books and chewing them up
And spoiling my socks and shoes

 Follows me wherever  I go
Is jealous of other playmates
Likes to hang around me all the time
And never goes out of sight

I know it's so for he loves me much
And will do the same forever
As both of us will grow together
In years and in friendship as such.

Gratus

           Of the countless people,  
          I feel deeply thankful to,  
         Here are a few I never forget, 
         To remember and appreciate.

          On top of the list are my parents,
          Who brought me to this world,
          And helped me grow safely, 
          Into the person I have been.

          Ever indebted  to my teachers,
           And elders of the family I am,
          Who helped me evolve in ways,
           More than I can enumerate. 
  
            Truly grateful I  ever feel,
           To all my friends and colleagues, 
            For being strongly supportive,
           Whenever I felt weak and upset.


            Fortunate it has been of me,
           In having a wonderful family,
           That gives me unconditional love,
           Despite all my shortcomings.

            
            I indeed  owe deep gratitude, 
             To Mother Nature as well,
           Who provides all living creatures,
         What they need to survive and flourish. 


           And as the springhead of all blessings,
            I bow to thee Almighty Lord! 
             For all that I have been given,
                During this journey of life.
