उत्तर

True happiness grows for me when my family surrounds me. On these memorable occasions, I feel a deep joy and belonging, surrounded by shared laughter and storytelling. This outstanding satisfaction comes from the family links that keep my spirit, reminding me that these connections remain a constant source of comfort and joy despite life's ups and downs.

A poem for you to read

All but Blind*

All but blind
In his chambered hole
Gropes for worms
The four-clawed Mole.

All but blind
In the evening sky
The hooded Bat
Twirls softly by.

All but blind

In the burning day
The Barn Owl blunders
On her way.

And blind as are
These three to me,
So, blind to Someone
I must be.
