Family

Sensitivities lead to effulgence and high spirits,

In the presence of my parents I always worship and pray for their blessings.

To me they are my god and goddess,

I have adorned them in a chariot where they enrich and find solace.

When they were beside me and alive ,

They emboldened my courage and confidence to a great height.

I was enveloped with care , concern , affection and love in abundance ,

How could I live without them? And maintain a balance from such a distance?

They left for a heavenly abode shattering me , tearing me apart.

Without them I cannot think of winking my eyes.

Their innocence and honesty has bestowed me with a gifted and treasured childhood,

In their company I have travelled so many places and enriched my emotions in my parenthood.

Time waits for no one if someone passes away ,

Only the heart is torn away when you are secluded and deeply pained in their absence.

I have witnessed that God exists in their incarnations,

How enjoyable those days were when I used to sit on their lap!

The veritable truth that makes us so emotional ,

That a wonderful family which comprised me and my parents ;

Wrapped up into a fragrance of pure love in abundance.

In their close proximity I learned the good virtues ,

To help each and everyone and to shower love and compassion being emphathatic.

A family where my angels lived was full of cheer and warmth,

Sitting on their lap and leaning on their shoulders was a security that I truly behold.

Next , I grew up to be a beautiful woman of morality and true instincts,

My marriage lead me to bloom in a family where I am the queen of distinctive spirits.

Rebelling against the evils of our society and impassioned to uplift my desires,

I was deterrent to establish myself as a teacher.

I took each and every matter into my notice ,

Where I cared for my late mother in law;

Who gifted me this beautiful family to embrace cheer and ennoblement.

I was engrossed in uplifting my son into a gentleman of good virtues,

I cradled my husband into good care and hospitality;

To be successful in his occupation and enjoy his passions to galore.

Life gifted me so many enriching factors,

Despite constant struggles that we all battled in that hour of crucial, unprecedented turmoils.

Without the support of my family I couldn't have enjoyed life today,

I couldn't have achieved what I intended to pursue in a desire to attain.

Family is the ultimate strength and comfort for any individual,

Amidst differences our emotions always binds us together into a flower of innumerable fragrance.

Like a nightangale the melody of the unity strengthened us ,

As the journey together for the last 20 years shone the bond more brighter.

I truly believe that a family is the backbone of support and upliftment of confidence for any individual,

Without them we are always so in complete as a family reinvigorates our essential intellect and wisdom to gallop.
