Theres a poem in every flower,
a sonnet in every tree,
a tale in every lifetime
its just for you to see...
...

the house is almost full,
the rooms abound with chatter,
little feet are pattering away
finally, the time that does matter,
...

my sunshine,
came to me
on a day that it poured with rain,
a little bundle so beautiful, so defenseless,
...

memories of childhood...
such a wonderful, hazy, warm feeling,
special memories, filled with love
come welling up, and send my senses reeling,
...

what would life be without friends?
they are truly a gift, that God sends,
helps to make life full of song,
when you have a friend to sing along.
...

beauty they say
is being fair of face
beauty is unexplainable
its everywhere, at everyplace
...

Ive travelled many countries
met people white, black, yellow and brown
Ive seen several beautiful locales
but my India wins the crown....
...

dont look back,
at the memories that haunt,
the painful truth,
so dark and so gaunt
...

of all the hateful things in the world,
one is surely liquor,
makes families fight
and couples bicker.
...

its darkest before dawn
so remember
when you are driven
to the depths of despair
...

I stare into the fire
it signifies my desire

leaping creeping and all red flames,
...

look into my eyes,
and you will see
the love I have for you,
it pours out,
...

when you are sad and weary,
and nothing give you peace,
just close your eyes,
and think of Him,
...

Tall, concrete, shining monstrosities
thrusting their way to the sky,
soaring, competing
with the few lonely birds,
...

marriage is the flame
you have to cup in your hands
and protect it
lest ugly winds
...

I am just a housewife, no mean feat
I put food on the table, for my family to eat

nourishing wholesome meals, cooked with a mother's touch,
...

Her deep blue eyes
shine with the beauty of her soul,

A life lived in honesty and
...

my faith in you is vast and immense,
both through happy times and tense,
not knowing what will happen,
but in the chaos, there is a certain sense,
...

just hold my hand, love
lead me to heaven
under the stars
by the side of the sea,
...

I look at you and think,
do you love me even half as much as I do?
every thought every moment
is filled with only you..
...
