The best gift I ever had !

I waited for a gift
It was a very special and priceless gift........
That can be given to me
Only by the leader of my mother Lanka !
Who should be brave enough........
To get the gift for me...........
I waited for decades.....for this priceless gift
What is it ?
It is freeing me from fear.........
But the fear of losing my life........
But the fear of losing my precious eyes...ears....limbs
Hands.....legs....memory....speech or all of them !
Which will make me a permanent dependent.......
I saw it happens to others within seconds......
When the bus bombs went off.........
Who will look after me ?
I don't have a family of my own.......
I am not a millionaire..........
But ....now......
I am fit and fine......
Because........
I am free of fear...........
Thank you very much my dear leader........
For freeing me from fear.......and improving my mental health !
