Parachutes
In the realm of triumphant feats above,
A fighter pilot ejects, parachuting to safety,
Unaware that a parachute rigger,
Guardian of his safety, remains unsung.
Thanks and congrats go unheard,
Life’s challenges loom, muffling issues.
Physical, mental and spiritual parachutes
Essential , demonstrating their necessity.
Amidst life’s threats, individuals emerge,
Human parachutes offering solace,
Through words, deeds, and heartfelt prayers.
Let gratitude , a whispered ember, rise
To paint the canvas of their watchful skies
For silent saviors, cloaked in common days,
Deserve the sunlit warmth of graceful praise
