Happy Wedding Anniversary Poem by Renu Sukhani

I remember the day when I was insisted to attend a function…
As I didn't want to be deprived from several hours of sleep the next day
I declined to attend the usual late ending occasion
But I was constantly encouraged to make myself available after work the next day
As time management and giving respect to invitations was the assertion

Though reluctant initially but a sudden aid within showed me the stairway
To attend the celebration of a new born baby without any justification
It was astounding to me that when I was putting on my face that pleasant day
I could not understand why I was having the fascination
That I would be meeting my ideal man that Thursday

However, I was thinking to myself of my introversion
How could I be openly socializing in any way?
My fascination turned into affirmation
When through your cousin you showed me the pathway
For us to engage into conversation

How amazing this was that the conversation flowed in such a way
That I did not have any form of distraction
For a moment I felt being in another world far away
As we continued with our interaction
Until when I looked up and turned my position towards the doorway

The obvious attentions from family members and friends started to cause interruption
I thought the temporary halt to our communication was okay
As both of us needed the space for consideration
I had excused myself though I wished I could possibly stay
Thinking of my fascination changing into reality, I was still trying to envision

Our subsequent meeting and one in the café
Helped me attain gratification
You were the one I sought for to be my life partner whenever I stood to pray
As there was no other I felt could have been my companion
With that in mind, the union between us is a hooray!

Today, I got the passion all of a sudden
In writing this message to convey
Our good and bad times together are moments that cannot be forgotten
Happy 9th Anniversary I proudly would like to say
It's a completion of another year and an opening to another introduction…
In the life we stay…

Happy Wedding Anniversary, Darling!
