My Heart, A Punjabi Poem Of Loving Memories With English Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

That punjabi dhaba near the golden temple in Amritsar.
That full fragrant glass of cold mid-noon lassi on a hot summer day.
That maize baked bread with butter and cooked green mustard leaves.
That ride on a horse going to my wedding ceremony.
That first sight of my new born son in my wife's arms.
That moment when I put my head at my mom's feet
and she blessed me putting her hand over my head and said-
May god bless you with life for a thousand years!
