Faithful Friday-a prayer to take Covid-19 away!
“I am praying very hard. Is God listening?”
Faithful Friday-a prayer to take Covid-19 away!
COVID-19: No one should die alone
COVID-19: No one should die alone
******
I read a post "No one should die alone" referring to dying alone in a nursing home. My mind goes to the many COVID-19 patients in Intensive Care Units who had to die alone without their loved ones around them. "Nurse, I am scared to die!" " Uncle, I will chant a prayer together with you." Another Buddhist nurse said: "According to a Buddhist monk, it is better to inform the dying to remember the good deeds they have done so that they may reborn in a better realm." A Muslim healthcare worker would hold the dying patient's hand and say a prayer during their last breaths. A Hindu nurse said, "We can chant Om Shivaya Namaha or Om Namo Shivaya." A Christian nurse said, "I would do this: With both my praying hands held over her/ his praying hands and recite Psalm 23: V 1 - 6" ********
When everything else seems futile, spirituality offers great solace and comfort.
Even a Hindu doctor had recited Islamic prayer for a patient on death bed!

每日一位访客
每日一位访客 (google translated)
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.“
– Mother Teresa, (1910-1997)
*************************************************************
在亚洲医院的病房里，
参观期间热闹非凡
与关心的亲戚朋友，
带来水果和家常的最爱。
*****************************
不经意间，靠墙，
站着一位老神职人员
身着神职人员服装，带有文职领，
双手紧握在前
**********************************
看了一会人，
他坐在椅子上
旁边没有访客的病人。
而且，他只是静静地坐在那里。
**************************************
当病人试图伸手去拿杯子时，
他帮助引导他颤抖的手和杯子
到病人的嘴唇，下巴下的手帕。
然后他给了病人一个皮的橙子。
另一个是临终病
谁不能说话也不能动。
自入院以来，没有人拜访过他。
这位照顾者静静地坐在他身边，安详
***********************************
他是每天的访客
对于一些没有访客的患者。
无论是流浪者还是家人
可能远在农村和内陆地区
*************************************
客气话不必是“话”。
因为手势可以代替文字。
- 善意的话语/手势并不难
但它们的效果是持久和治愈的。

Son, you have two machine guns…
Son, you have two machine guns…
After reading the daily news, Mary looked serious. She called her son to sit down with her.

“Son, you have two machine guns. The first is your car 1.8CC. When you drive to college. Be careful and don’t speed!”
Mary showed him the front page of the daily news. “See? This young man plowed his car into a group of seven people at a bus stop! A car can be like a machine gun if not used carefully!”
Her son nodded. He just came back from college looking tired.
“The next machine gun I have always wanted to talk to you about is this. Don’t you go around shooting wild oats to any girl in college except the one who will bring me, my grandchildren!”
A quiet person, he nodded again and went into his room.
“Sis, such a crude way to tell about the birds and the bees to your son!” Mary’s sister remarked.
“Sigh! I wish my husband would do this job instead of me!” Mary went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
“So, have you spoken to your kids about the birds and the bees?”
“I think the ‘Youtube university’ may have already done it!“

Is this pup a pug?

printed on my mug.
This Haiku is inspired by a story of a wrinkly pug ” The Pug.” while I was drinking my mug of coffee.

Haiku ini diilhamkan oleh kisah tentang kutu “The Pug.” semasa saya minum cawan kopi saya.

Tourism: of decors and assurance (poem)
This poem is about tourism, the street decorations that still linger post festivities, and the assuring sight of police presence!

The most popular pose today…
The most popular pose today…
Today on social media, the most popular pose with a poster is
“I have been vaccinated!”
It’s like announcing to the world.
Hey, now I am safe!
Come join the herd community effort!
Get your appointment fast!
Well, it is not like you can walk into any clinic for a vaccination like our kids do with triple antigen and booster dose immunizations! 😐☹️🙄😟
We wait for our covid-19 vaccination appointments according to the government schedule! Then I saw a Facebook sitting-on-a-rock pose by a senior aunt!
I have NOT been vaccinated! 😞😟☹️
There must be some mistakes with the official scheduler as younger people have already gone for the jab!
I hope the process would buck up!💪💪💪
October 2021 updates:-
I am so glad most people have been vaccinated. The posing after vaccination craze is waning off nowadays.
I doubt the ‘booster dose’ pose will pick up with equal enthusiasm!

Missing Togetherness on a Thursday!
Missing Togetherness on a Thursday! -Poem
I miss the closeness,
togetherness of playing,
thrilling outdoor games.
How Covid affects,
alters our growing years
restricting spaces!
