About beauty, hearth and light

Diary entry made on 1.6.2002 by my father

Your face is beautiful beyond all other faces

Beyond all music and poetry

Your face is beautiful to me

Your face is beautiful beyond other faces

More to me now than dear remembered places

More to me than anything I know

How can our minds and bodies be

Grateful enough that we have spent

Here in this generous house

This evening of content?

Each one of us has walked through storm

And fled the wolves along the road

But here the hearth is wide and warm

And for this shelter and this light

Accept, O Lord, our thanks tonight

8

The sun at pride of noon 

With all his light to give

World, I have loved you well

I am glad to live

This blog is dedicated to the memory of my dear father Jaswant Singh Matharu.

In his twilight years he maintained diaries which are a glimpse into his sensitive soul.

I share the pages of one of his diaries here.
