About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

For whom the bells toll

At dawn today, the door bell rang .

it can only be bad news at this hour
my heart whispered
with a heavy tread
and an awful fear, I opened the door

The young boy asked nervously
are you a doctor
we need succour
My heart surged, then wept helplessly

It was not for me the bells tolled ---today.
