No good words then and no food now

No good words then  and no food  now

(After  reading a tamil  poem on this   subject.Thanks  author of poem)

When  you   brought  hot degree  coffee ,

I used to shout   at you , “How many times,

I need to tell  you , less sugar, please....”

When you prepare  your master piece ,

The great Sambar with great expertise,

I used to shout “More salt please...”

When you   gave me soft   idlis , with ,

Steam   coming out of it  with Chutney,

I used to shout “So hard , can you not make it harder”

When You used   to offer  me crispy  and tastey,

Dosas with the taste  of heaven  come down,

I used to shout”You know, I have to break to eat  it”

But    darling   after  you have  gone   away from me,

Without   any anger  whatsoever, There  is no one,

Who cares   whether  I  am hungry or not

Darling mine, I would soon   come to heaven,

And never   shout   at you  any more  ,

Even if    you offer me salt less stone and mud.
