Marriages are made in Heaven

Marriages are made in Heaven,
one plus one is not eleven!
Love him truly and forever,
that is often said by oh so Clever...
A young woman who falls off her feet
the auspicious day she will meet
Mr Right maybe in a mall Or
near the chakki shop before night fall.

Then she will gladly give it a fight,
being together they will prove it right,
That their choice was the best of all
Even a decade later the foundation was strong
Of their union which others deemed all wrong.

They are happy, they are free
Of the aunties that said "I told you Ji"
Ok, when they fight or when things go askew,
They can only blame themselves for a decision they knew..
Would not necessarily make everyone happy
& would not be embraced joyfully.

What would their lives be had they chosen,
The photograph on the dresser table
Of a partner right in measure,
Potentially portrayed as a life full of pleasure.

Satya's 20th Birthday

 Twenty years ago,

I awoke this day
To be blessed with a beautiful gift
God sent my way

The gift I received was Precious  and True,
She came into the world
With eyes shining blue

I wondered how I had managed such a masterpiece,
I held you with love..
Scared to hurt you with a squeeze

All the years have gone on by
So fast
I cannot fathom, whether they were this lifetime
Or the last

The mother in me was born that day,
Wonder of wonders ..
Thank Heavens for this day
In that month of May

You have become you
And grown and still
Are on your way
To discover and conquer and
Thrill

I wish you the Best,
My heart really swells
Your mother is proud
Of your doings, your thinkings and your tells

2nd May 2024
Yours,
Maman
