Who Will Shoulder When I Cry

Today while on a regular evening tea, we choose to visit a Veg restaurant close to Medical College area. As soon as we settled, we ordered tea and dosa and settled in one of the tables.

After some time into the tea and dosa, many other people started occupying seats around us. As a people watcher, I kept looking at people, how they carried themselves.

One family who sat in the next table had a kid with a medical mask. Don’t know what was her ailment? The mother of the kid looked worried. The man of the family ordered food and next they were engrossed in the food.

Worried Faces near Hospital

In and around any big hospital, it’s not difficult to catch sight of the people who are worried, faces filled with stress and often without any emotions. Some would be worried about the health, some about the medical expenses, or some over-stressed with the task of running around.

Solace for the Weary

Who will mother the pained ones? Who will shoulder the responsibility? Who will talk over the worries? Who will cushion the fear, worries faced by you? Who will hold your hand and heart?
Who will pay my bills? A guardian angel to all the weary ones? Who’s there for you? You, your family or friends?

What will you do when you have none of the support structure?
