Honour

Promotions, awards, felicitation
at the work place
seemed next to nothing
when the time it came
to go home...

Spouse, loved ones
had time only
for a cursory glance
not even for a word
they just did not seem
to care.. or where they
preoccupied with their own things...

Oh what use is appreciation & honour
from the whole world
if there is no acknowledgement
from the people who matter
at home?
