I felt it in
my guts when you first came in my life,
That you are the one for me in peace and in strife,
It started with love, we can never forget that,
But, we both knew, for sure, you’d be my wife.
And when we wedded, it was the best hour,
Even gods, I know, sprinkled many a flower,
As we stood before the deity in the temple we chose,
We knew to do us apart there wasn’t a power.
Just the two of us in love, with virtually no support,
We started with a mere handwritten order of the court,
But, we went from strength to strength, my love,
And soon we held an impregnable fort.
Yes, we went through the smooth and the rough,
But, somehow, we always managed to have enough,
And when luck refused to see us through,
We caught the elusive luck by the cuff.
Soon, God sent His angels, for us, on earth,
Both Arjun and Arun filled us with unending mirth,
We didn’t have much but we had one another,
And we always kept the fires burning in our hearth.
Friends and relations were loving and kind,
Virtually everyday there was a new find,
Of how much love was in and around us,
To fill our hand, heart, soul and mind.
I don’t suppose we ever felt broken and alone,
Thank God for the Navy, we always had a home,
And don’t forget the delightful places we visited,
London, Paris, to name a few, Cape Town and Rome.
Thirty six years later, we are content and together,
In the cap of our love, we have many a feather,
I feel proud when they quote us as an example,
Of how Love is strong to withstand any weather.
All that you require in life is love, we can proclaim,
Love is more glorious than riches and fame,
It may be dim at times but it burns constantly, Lyn,
The warmest glow is that of Love’s Flame.
Hap
