Still Together Poem by asma bahrainwala

//Like a roaring tide,
Time always keeps gushing forth
Into the vast oceans
Of human life.//


So many seasons have passed
Ever since they met;

Yet, despite all
The troughs and crests,
The love that they
Cherish and share
Has held them
Together to see
Their family tree
Grow big,
Sprout branches,
And bear fruits.

Now with joy and laughter bustles,
Their once empty household.

Good times they have spent
In each other’s embrace;
And even the mightiest blows of fate
Have failed to rip them apart.
Their love has stood
The test of time;
And victorious
Have they emerged.

Many years
Have passed.
Even they seem to have
Lost the count!
But they are
Still together.
