The Best Mistake my Parent's ever did... My little sister

She......
Is my eternal dairy, a childhood I can never lose?
She is My Little Sister!
The pride of the family and the solace of my home.
She now hopes to make it on her own.

....A transition from child to thee...
.... Some memories quickly flash by me….
.... She eating mud some where around two
.... Those teary eyes I cause for something new....
....Those endless fights I remember not why...
End of the day….She tolerated it all....even me.

Yes at last my little flower made this choice
To end her single run & be born again as a fresh rose

An impossible feeling of love is in the air… today...

Now here I am giving her away.
Ushering my dear slowly into her new domain.
The silent quest ends here...into this bind of love.
An exciting new world with this new member.
I finally shepard her to the man who I will soon call my brother.
A weird feeling as my little baby looks on to another.
I quiver a little and sigh; She so is beautiful, just like my mother.

As I took her tiny hand and gave it onto his.
His gentle eyes spoke ... “I needn’t worry”.
It was all going to be bliss I told my self...still unsure....

Standing around the sanctity of this holy fire...
Them exchanging the rings of romance...
And the chains of commitments

I sail through across the chant and burning incense.
And I notice only her & her smile that said it all....

Touch wood & God Bless !

Hi Shiv...The poem was really sweet. "To end her single run and be born again as a fresh rose..", I really liked this line and also the verse after tis...

I personaly feel that comparing human emotions to nature and its ways is very heart warming...For instance ..comparing a lady's beauty to the nite sky filled wit stars...and the beauty of her thick locks and the curls of her hair to the darkness of the night..etc..etc...I feel it adds a kind of magic to the whole poem...maybe you could try out such comparison in ur next venture..

All the best..Gud Job!!
Regards
