This is for all those brothers and sisters of mine
who live far, far away...
Some in Nagpur, some in Chennai and some in the US...
Growing up, I now realize how blessed they are
who have a sibling under the same roof..
Being a single child, my teenage years have taught me
how beautiful sibling hood is...
To have someone to turn to, to look up to...
Someone who loves you, values you,
Someone who is really, your own.
I have also realized how little time I've spent with my brothers and sisters.
So this, is for you, to know what the bond between siblings is...
Just so that you learn to appreciate their significance
and cherish every moment with them....
We may not be the best of friends
who've been in touch all these years..
We may not be there
to celebrate each other's joys and
fight each other's fears...
I may not have sent you raakhis,
or remembered your birthdays...
and for this I apologize;
the guilt follows me for days..
I may not know all your secrets,
nor you, mine..
But as long as we know each other,
not knowing secrets,
is just fine..
We may not have had those innocent fights,
little arguments, to cherish while we grow up.
And at all happy days of your life,
I know I didn't show up..
I may not have applauded you on all your achievements,
but know, that I am proud.
Though sometimes I do envy you,
when you're the center of every crowd !
Though you may not always know it,
I love you more than I show it...
You inspire me, you impress me
and not being with you,
I regret...
This,
I will be there to remind you
whenever you forget.
As we grow up, and step into the great unknown,
We lead different lives,
each heading for a different throne.
We may not be the best of friends
and we may not have those innocent fights..
I may still forget your birthday...
I wont really be tomorrow,
what I am today..
But I want you to know,
However old we are,
However far apart,
You will always be with me,
Be mine
In my heart...
For I value you,
I respect you and
I love you.
Whatever happens,
I'm right by your side,
I will always remain true.
And even a hundred years from today
I WILL be with you.

ReplyDeleteAmazing Shreeya!!! Very true and Emotional!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful..true to the core.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a matured writing... I just loved it.
ReplyDeleteShreeya, you have an excellent knack of writing serious messages with good rhyme -
"I may not know all your secrets, nor you, mine..
But as long as we know each other, not knowing secrets, is just fine.."
I kept reading above two lines again and again...
Good thoughts, Great poetry. Keep it up, beta.
Beautiful thought. Stay rooted dear. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteFantastic..Shreeya! Being straight calls for lots of guts. Being emotional is not weakness as many assume it to be. It is symbolic of an open and receptive heart. You have it in you. Keep pouring.
