Didi (Elder Sister) Poem by ramesh rai

Didi (Elder Sister)

Rating: 5.0


Your pains are painless
you swallowed all the pains
of your life
sacrificed all the amusement
and devotion
for the nourishment of
your brother and
for a better tomorrow

You shouldered the responsibility
leaded the guardianship
with full emotions

for the sake of your brother
you did not care the sun or rain
the toils of yours will not go vain

Didi

you are the fairy
stepped down from the moon
with silver spoon in your hand
to feed the band of us

You are the Mary
who takes care of her sons
to cherish life
with a blooming view of
love and peace

You are the incarnation
of Mom and Dad
you are leading the life
twice together

Didi
your pains are painless
the smiles on your face
have swallowed our pains
as if graved all the pains
of life

Any word in praise of thine
shall be lesser for mine

What words fail to say, the hearts between brothers and sisters understand. Crafted with emotion, respect, affection.and admiration...stirringly beautiful. You have your Didi and I have my Dom. Thank you for steering me to this gem. PEACE, my poet friend.

A wonderful dedication to a great sister! A true substitute for a mother and a father, she is uncomplaining and devoted and even forgetting her own miseries, she has set apart her life for others! Enjoyed this poem, expressing boundless gratitude and affection for a great Didi!
