Stepping Towards A New Horizon

My beloved! I am so sorry as you traveled here & there with this Gypsy Vagabond since your marriage. First of all I must thank to Anaheim and say good bye for her hospitality. The Italian old lady Maria.Bruno (Her husband Joseph died a long ago) The Manageress of our apartment handed over me an envelope And a tear dropp in her eye says 'just a keepsake' Later I found a greeting card inside and three newly printed twenty dollar notes. May you long live Maria and I think of Nativity. I see the handsome Sun comes out from the Eastern sky And I hear his murmur; 'Welcome to Corona' I see a small red bird probably the robin family Chirps on a branch of a leafless Maple tree. That sad song reminds me of my poor deceased Mom's lullaby She sang in her entire life until the music finished. Around my billet a range of mountains And I saw few whitewashed tombs like telephone booths In a faraway burial grounds. My beloved disturbed me; 'Darling you are in a deep thought.' Then I showed her that solitary place with my index finger and said; 'One day we have to finish our journey there leaving our loved ones somewhere.' She whispered while crying; 'That journey too we go together please? ' *Dedication to our daughter's Boston-in-laws and the family, Nalin and Tanuja our sincere friends, unless their tremendous help we couldn't move an inch from here to Corona.
