Dear Anonymous

 My eyes laid on a name

while reading the flight plan

I pondered who is the man

behind this game

Is he just a name?


He is the dispatcher

and his credit is long due



When roster guy called me

to offer me a flight

I wondered he is out of sight

offering me a flight of choice

Is he just a voice?

He is the scheduler

and his credit is long due



Talking to different ATC officers 

make me wonder

they all are part of my day

making me safely stay

up and high in the sky

Are they all anonymous?

They are air traffic controllers 

and their credit is long due


Wearing my favourite dress

makes me wonder

who runs this business?

Clothing gives me happiness, 

excitement and confidence 

Who is there behind this?

He is the businessman

and his credit is long due.


Sitting on my dining table

while having my dinner

makes me wonder 

who grew this vegetable?

He must be professional 

He is the farmer

and his credit is long due.


Sometimes 

a dialogue in a movie,

monologue of a radio jockey,

lyrics of a song

bring you back 

where you belong

A poem by anonymous 

takes away your stress

Isn’t it miraculous?

Who is master behind this?

He is the writer

and his credit is long due.


Sometimes

a learning travels to you

by your friend 

who shares with you

someone’s story

brings you glory,

shapes your life

and makes you bright

Who is the man behind it?

He is anonymous 

and his credit is long due.


Life is like a flight

Behind every flight

many anonymous 

help us complete 

our journey

And in our lives

many anonymous

help us 

write our destiny

Today is the day

to say thank you 

as their credit is long due.
