  • Ocean of Gold
    May 30 2021

    When we were young 

    I would often ask just for fun 

    Will you still love me when old 

    “Forever my darling” I was told. 

    With dreams in my eyes 

    And hopes in my heart 

    Moved on in life as 

    Any loving husband and wife. 

    Ours was a roller coaster ride 

    As is in any couples lives 

    We stuck to each other 

    So the adversaries we could fight. 

    Always looking for what is wrong 

    Before looking for who is wrong 

    Never arguing for very long 

    This kept our relationship safe and strong. 

    What more can I ask from God tonight 

    With kids and grandkids now by our side 

    Love of brothers and sisters far and wide 

    Family & Friends our treasures and pride 

    And a husband like him – The love of my life. 

    Today when we are at this stage of our life 

    Spreading love, doing Seva, The food on which we thrive 

    I thank Waheguruji for all his blessings and more 

    Nothing left to ask for anything anymore 

    As fifty years ago, He blessed me with a man brave and bold 

    Surender my husband – An Ocean of Gold

  • I Remember
    May 30 2021

    I remember – I was a shy young bride

    Stepping into a new threshold of life

    This day today of twenty years

    Was filled with apprehension and fears

    Song on my lips and stars in my eyes

    Dreaming of the beginning of some beautiful ties.

    I remember – the first time you held my hand

    We are as if in heaven and not on this land

    Deeply lost in each other’s eyes

    Oblivious to the world’s shouts or cries.

    I remember – like all young people in love

    Had lots to discover and to discuss

    Over each other we would make so much fuss

    The world seemed to end if one got cross.

    I remember – the now silly quarrels and small tiffs

    They added spice to a sometimes dull bit

    Expectations run high when we are very young

    Tempers volatile with sometimes sharp tongue

    But the joy of making up was ever so great

    It made up for the tensions the quarrels would create.

    I remember – your reaction to our first born

    Too nervous to hold but so proud when told

    That you were the father of this new born

    Your eyes were misty and looks forlorn.

    I remember – for the second your pacing back and forth

    Wondering why the doctor was not yet brought

    When the cry of your son finally heard

    With sheer joy you went berserk.

    What can we ask from God today

    When he has given all without our say

    Our greatest treasure our sons today

    Please God continue to bless them also we pray.

    Lead us on with your kindly light

    To do good deeds and reach great heights

    We have no cause to fret or worry

    Toddy on our twentieth anniversary

    Yet another milestone in the life

    Of any husband and his wife.

    Twenty years of being together

    Needs to put our cap a feather

    Two decades it is today

    But I still remember all

    As only just yesterday.

  • In Appreciation
    Jun 1 2021

    Do not feel let down

    When some people betray

    To their own plot some day

    They will eventually fall prey.

    If they did not discover you

    The loss is all theirs

    You are one in a million

    And for those people, who cares?

    Do not waste the precious pearls from your eyes

    All the pain within, do try to disguise.

    You are the rarest gem

    Whose value not all can realize

    Who will treasure it?

    But the sage and the wise.

    Your petal soft heart

    Bleeds with everyone’s’ pain

    Your childlike innocence

    Cannot fathom people who pretend and feign.

    You call a spade a spade

    Even if some don’t like it I am afraid

    Your simplicity is the one that touches people’s hearts

    The tensions and worries of others you cart.

    The ocean of love within

    Brings care and consideration around

    Your goodness of soul

    Helps the helpless unbound

    Do not change today

    If some people let you down

    Do not even bother

    To even wince or frown.

    You are the lucky one

    Closer to God

    Unfortunate are they

    For whom you are of no accord.

    You are a jewel

    Such in a million one you find

    People like you are a blessing to mankind.

    For my husband during his difficult times

  • A Message of Love
    Jun 1 2021

    What can I say to the one I love

    More than anyone or anything

    When I have so often failed

    to let it show?

    How can I say to the one

    Who shares my life, my hopes

    My dreams, my days, my nights...

    The one I can’t imagine life without?

    What can I do, for the one

    Who stood by me

    Through good times and bad times

    The one I sometimes

    Seem to take for granted

    Even though I don’t mean to?

    How can I explain to the one

    Who understands me

    Better than I understand myself

    And whose support, encouragement

    And belief in me

    Help me be a better person?

    What can I say

    How can I say

    What can I do

    How can I explain

    How much I love you!

    In you I found someone special

    And when our lives intermingled

    I realized then that you were

    My “once in a lifetime miracle”.

    The older we get

    The more I think about

    What really matters in life

    And so many things

    That once seemed important

    No longer even make the list.

    Life gives us time

    But only love gives it meaning

    What really matters to me now

    Is the two of us...

    Sharing our lives

    Reliving our memories

    Dreaming our dreams...

    Together.

    And your birthday seems

    Like the perfect time

    To celebrate you...

    To celebrate us...

    And the joy of our life

    Together.

    Written for Surender on his 60th birthday

    Akele rehne se mat ghabrana

    Yahi samay hai khud ko pehechanna

    Antardhyan jub ho jaaoge

    Apne aap ko tub hi paaoge

    Kitni shanti kitna sukoon in raahon mein

    Yeh tub hi toh jaan jaaoge.

    Na koi khauf na fikra hoga

    Bus usika har taraf zikra hoga

    Duniya ki moh-maya se hut kar

    Bahut kuch hai oos duniya ke andar

    Is duniya mein bejhijhak chale aaow

    Mushkilon se phir nijaad paaow.

    Mehfooz ho chahe duniya saari

    Nahi hogi sirf duniyadaari

    Heere–moti ki hawas na hogi

    Roti–paani se zindagi basar hogi

    Bharenge hum bus uska dum

    Chahe sub kahein humein malang.

    Pyaar mohabbat beinteha bategi

    Ek hi se bus taar judegi

    Log chahe kahein deewana

    Par ab kaheka pachtaana

    Judh jaaye jub us se preet

    Toh har taraf hai apni jeet.

    Har saans usi ke naam se hogi

    Usi ki tareef zuban pe hogi

    Anhad naad goonjege yoohin

    Har taraf bus tuhi tuhi.

  • My Darling Son Jasjeev
    Jun 3 2021

    Twenty-one years ago on this day

    You came into this world my son

    Bringing with you the joy and ecstasy

    Which only parents are privileged to enjoy

    With the arrival of their first bundle of joy.

    Your birthday brings

    So many sentimental thoughts

    To mind-like what a pleasure it has been

    To watch you grow into

    The kind and thoughtful person you are.

    There’s a special kind of beauty

    Deep inside the heart of you

    Because the precious love of God

    Is such a part of you

    The things you do and say

    All show His kind and loving touch

    That is why a son like you will always mean so much.

    From the moment you were born

    I felt such happiness in knowing

    I had brought someone wonderful into this world

    For this to dear God I am grateful beyond measure

    To have been given the gift of this priceless jewel – such a treasure.

    From adolescence to adulthood, you have progressed

    With visions of the future and all that is best

    Dreams and ambitions play now a great role

    With zeal and enthusiasm you work for your goal.

    You are now ready to unfold your wings

    To fly into the beautiful blue skies

    Our love would not bind you

    Nor our needs hold you

    For you live in the house of tomorrow.

    You are the arrow that has to fly

    May we be the bow that is stable

    May we remain the strength you rely

    Even when old, frail and feeble.

    May God bless you, with everything he deems best

    Honesty, Generosity, Success, Happiness and the rest

    May you retain the child-like innocence

    With freshness of dew-drops and the flowers’ fragrance.

    Thinking of you lovingly

    As this big day appears

    Thinking too of all the joy

    You have brought throughout the years

    Hoping your most special dreams

    Will one and all come true

    And there will be lots of happiness

    With all of God’s blessings over you.

  • My Grown Up Child
    Jun 4 2021

    It seems only yesterday

    That you were a babe in my arms

    My very special toy, a cute little bundle of joy

    Oblivious to the world, gentle and mild

    But today you are a grown up young man, my child.

    Cries and wails, screams and fears

    All still clearly ring in my ears

    The tantrums you threw for things you could not find

    Those and much more are still fresh in my mind.

    The little pranks you played

    The pleasure in the pain you gave

    Sometimes those naughty impish smiles

    Next the tempers went really wild

    And today you are a grown-up young man, my child.

    You have now come of age

    So, your freedom we can no longer cage

    Into the beautiful blue skies you would like to fly

    Fearless and free, by the fates profiled

    For today you are a grown-up young man, my child.

    With pride and joy we will see

    You take your first step to success

    Your dreams fulfilled and doubts laid to rest

    Son, it has been wonderful

    Sharing your dreams and watching you grow.

    Feeling such pride in your accomplishments and more

    With zeal and zest, never to be beguiled

    For today you are a grown-up young man, my child.

    Today on this very special day

    With love, I wish you and fervently pray

    That all the things you hope for

    And all the things you do

    May very special happiness be waiting for you

    May God always bless you and have you in his care

    May he fulfill every wish and answer every prayer.

    The beautiful memories of your childhood

    I will always love and treasure

    The joy of which is beyond any measure

    To the world today you may be “grown-up”

    Perhaps smart and even clever

    But to me you will always be my “little child” forever.
