Life of Lakhan and Saroj is Different
January nineteenth 2014 brought me many fond memories of the past
Fifty years ago, Saroj and I wedded this day with a big bang and blast
Today is that time again to rewind and ponder about the glorious past
This has brought me to think of the day I said my vow and "I do” at last
My fifty golden years is a time I have well cherished with a lot of joy
We kept our relationship alive without a blemish like a special toy
All the rewarding years that we spent together side by side happily
Makes this special Golden Day rejuvenate and come alive joyfully
Each year had given us multiple fond memories to share and care
We loved our dreams that we made come true with a lot to spare
All these have given our relationship the greatest strength to share
This day would have been super happy if she did not go else where
Just before we could reach this milestone in our life, she departed
I was all distraught, sorrowful and lonely and left broken-hearted
Sharing fifty years of memories was worth an immense treasure
We had planned a celebration but my sorrow ended all pleasure
All the tears this lonely life has now brought in the way for me
All the joy that wouldn’t have known any bound has jolted me
Now I have no choice but to reflect on each and every year one by one
To further strengthen our bond despite the fact that she is gone
As each day is now passing slowly but steadily I think of the past
All the treasured gifts that she had given me are here till the last
My future ride of life is all confusing because my guide is no more
I feel lost and disoriented in the rough sea with no sight of shore
Our partnership that had crossed fifty milestones is rare to find
Our love and living was full of fun we knew it was one of its kind
Our love life teaches others to value all relationships with pride
Family life is an open book and there should be nothing to hide
My Pretty Lotus and I gave each other a strong feeling of love
We enjoyed our life so much that we acted like our garden dove
No storm, no current or rough weather could weaken our move
No ravages of time to tarnish our love we had nothing to prove
So even after the fifty years we behaved like each other's dove
Our relationship will never feel out-dated or old we are in love
Since our love was always blessed with a touch of Almighty God
Our affection for one another gave us happy time with the Lord
Friends say that fifty years of togetherness earned us the fame
Of being the Golden couple and for sticking together by the game
For half a century is a very long time walking along side by side
I feel that has made our journey of life such an interesting ride
This wonderful journey began in a village over half a century ago
Where two souls were blessed into one body without much ado
If we celebrated those golden years to raise our glass to toast
We would have had many friends to say cheers along the coast
But this is not any special day when we haven’t got each other
I have lost my life partner she cannot be replaced by any other
No life’s everlasting, dark clouds are bound to come and gather
Life of Lakhan and Saroj is different it will go further and further.
