Bookmarks Poem by Arti Chopra

there are important bookmarked pages,
in my lifes story book
pages that I read again and again
pages that warrant many a look,

first page is when I met you
you swept me off my feet,
never had life been so wonderful,
never had life been so sweet

and then the page when we were married
and settled down to a life full of joy
and soon along came my darling daughter
followed by my precious little boy

life flowed along happily,
joys and sorrows both were there
and then the biggest joy of all
my daughter for marriage had to prepare

another page so important
my son became a doctor and left,
brilliance and hard work took fruit
woven through his warp and weft

and then the page of our travel
to a distant land beautiful and cold
God had once agian shown his benevolence
showered his blessings manifold

life flows on smoothly on its course
.some days are cool some hot
another page will soon be bookmarked
when my son chooses to tie the knot

so in this book of my life
I am absorbed, when I read every page,
but few are favourites of mine,
which I love to reread as I age,

those are my bookmarked pages,
important milestones in my life,
milestones that are fondly reminisced,
relived by husband and wife

life is nothing, but a book that we write
with a pen handed to us by the Lord,
its a tapestry that we weave painstakingly
with the threads provided by God.
